FOREST SERVICE BUILDI N G
AND REFER TO
OGDEN , UTAH
December
4, 1961
J . Whitney Floyd, Dean
College of Forest, Range and
Wildlife Management
Utah state University
Logan, Utah
_Dear Dean Floyd:
I appreciated receiving your open letter of November 25 addressed to the
principals responsible for the collection of data, the establishment of
position, and the related decisions for the .Logan Canyon Highway construction project.
That letter should be helpful in clarifying the understanding of the concerned agencies about the position of the College of Forest, Range and
Wildlife Management of Utah state University . We in the Forest Service
have at no time interpreted the statement of the College committee as
being relat ed to or influencing our decision in the administration of
national forest lands in Logan Canyon. You properly point out that this
would be outside the prerogative of the University. However, the basic
principles set forth in the University statement establish sound land
management objectives; objectives which the Forest Service has sought-in Logan Canyon and elsewhere for many years .
We understand the sincerity of your efforts to encourage agreement among
the agencies concerned so that the project can move forward . This is our
interest. However, the question at issue involves determination and definition of what you have referred to as "a satisfactory design, adequate
financing, with minimum damage to the natural resources affected." Use
of cost as a measure of needed work is convenient . The basic road construction cost for this highway, without consideration of resource values, is
$ 360,000 . The total additional cost for essentially full resource protection without consideration of economic factors is 552 , 000. The State
Highway Department has agreed to resource protection work amounting to
about $100,000 over and above the basic cost . Our studies indicate that
additional work, estimated to cost a further $127,000, is needed to meet
"minimum damage" requirements .
�This is the situation that has been described as an "impasse . " We hope
this is not the case . However , I must fully discharge my responsibility
for administration of the national forests in the Intermountain Region .
I cannot , in the absence of facts to the contrar.y , agree to a proposal
set at a level below that which meets the "minimum II resource protection
need .
We look forward to further discussions with State Highway Department
officials , especially with regard to the total project and the costs involved from the end of the present constraction t o Garden City .
Sincerely yours ,
~VERS~

"We can obtain wildlerness under the most
difficult political conditions"
-- Dick Carter, UW)~ Coordinator
The Utah Wilderness Association
Our public lands are in danger! Utah's wildlife is fighting to survive the destruction of habitat by energy
development, timber sales and overgrazing. Our last stretches of wild river are threatened wiID reservoirs. In every
I------~ e ~~--of Utah needless development schemes abound.
r· -m ote corner
~
The Utah Wilderness Association has led the battle to preserve the natural
values of the public lands in Utah. From the establishment of the Lone Peak
Wilderness in 1978 to the Utah Wilderness Act of 1984 and the Bureau of Land
Management wilderness n~view, the history of wilderness and preservation in
Utah has been the history ofUWA.
But UWA's interests go beyond wilderness. We have led the battle to force
the Forest Service to reduce timber harvesting in unroaded areas critical to
wildlife on the Wasatch, Ashley and Dixie National Forests. We have
challenged BLM and Forc~t Service proposals to allow oil and gas exploration
in critical roadless areas. 'Ve have fought to protect desert bighorn sheep habitat
from been exploited by off road vehicles and overgrazing by domestic livestock.
Our efforts are directed at ~every BLM and Forest Service land management plan
and proposal.
UWA has been at the forefront of public land decisions in Utah. We have a
full-time professional staff and an office in Salt Lake City. We have built a
volunteer network and as a member you will have an opportunity to participate .
in managing your lands. V~on't you join us?
Wilderness is the Egljtorne of Multiple Use
The last remnants of the~ frontier are the roadless areas of the national forests, parks, wildlife refuges and BLM
lands. These places of the West are closing up rapidly due to the orf'.c;sures of development. It is now time to
recognize the value of wilderness before it is too late. Wilderness protects resources which may prove to be the most
valuable of all--scenic vistas, solitude, wildlife habitat, clean air, undisturbed watersheds and biological diversity.
Literally, wilderness provides a buffer to our constant homogenizing of life.
The recreation value of wilderness for hiking, hunting, fishing, horse-packing or cross country skiing is obvious.
But wilderness also provides ecosystem reserves for research that may improve the quality of life. Wilderness
protects the last refuge of wild species such as bighorn sheep, elk, moos(\ black bear, cougaif, pine marten, river
otter, wolverine and bald eagle.
Ultimately wilderness acts as a barometer of our humaneness. Can we share this planet with majestic mountain
ranges, virgin forests and free-flowing rivers? Or must we be the sole inhabitants of a state or a world and be forced
to experience the magic of our red rock canyons and mountains in books? Indeed, wilderness is the epitome of
multiple use.
�The High Uintas Wilderne" s
s
IhUJtah Wilderness Act of 1984
"High peaks thrust into the sky, snow fields glistening like lakes of molten
silver .. .forests and rocklands blended into one grand view. "That's how John
Wesley Powell described the High Uintas when he saw them in 1869. The
incomparable Uinta Mountains, including King's Peak, Utah's highest, are now
protected as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. With 'Wasatch
Front areas like Mt Naomi, Timpanogos, Mt. Olympus, Wellsville, Lone
Peak and Twin Peaks, and southern Utah areas like Dark Canyon, Box-Death
Hollow, the Pine Valley Mts. and Paria Canyon, the Uintas form the
foundation of a diverse system of Utah wilderness.
Utah's fifteen wilderness areas constitute just 2.5% of our state's public
lands. 'The wilderness agenda remains unfulfilled. For example, roadless areas
just outside wilderness boundaries are threatened with timber sales and new
roads for oil and gas exploration--Iands which should have been included in the
wildemess designation.
Mill!nremams toDe one. Wil l'i your elp roresf Servlce wilderness
designations will continue and the BLM wilderness issue will begin. We; need
patience, knowledge of the land and public participation. But of most
importance you are needed to initiate the vision and the path toward wilderness
~~!liIP~~~
pr~servation.
~BLM
Wilderness Reyiew
With millions of acres of roadless country at stake, the BLM wilderness review promises to be the focal point of
Utah's wilderness battle for many years to come.
UW'A was born with the BLM wilderness review. Initiated in the late 1970s the BLM wilderness review has been
a massive undertaking highlighted with controversy. Of 22 million acres of BLM land in Utah the agency
originally recommended only 2.6 million acres for wilderness study area (WSA) status. UWA organized the largest
forma1l wilderness appeal ever filed (925,000 acres) before the Departtnent of Interior. This appeal and a subsequeI).t
UWA appeal resulted in over 600,000 additional acres of wildlands being given wilderness study area status.
Unfor1tunately, the problems did not stop there. Of these 3.2 million aCf(~S of WSAs BLM has preliminarily
recommended a mere 1.9 million acres for wilderness designation, an ar~~ smaller than Yellowstone National Park.
U\VA has countered with a wilderness proposal on BLM lands in nine integral ecological regions: the West
Desert featuring the "island" ecosystems of the 12,000 foot Deep Creek Mts. and other Great Basin Ranges; the
renowned river running and wildlife-rich DesolationlBook Cliffs country; the San Rafael, a composite of
Utah's canyon country and proposed for years as a national park; the high plateaus and deep canyons of the
Kaip~nrowits Plateau; the Escalante's unspoiled redrock canyons; the geologically and ecologically unique
Henry Mts.; the incised canyons of the Dirty Devil/Canyonlands country, including the lower Green River,
the Colorado River and the Dirty Devil as well as all of the country surrounding Canyonlands National Park; the
archeologically rich Grand Gulch Plateau; and the diverse slickrock canyons and ponderosa pine plateaus of the
Zion/Cannan Mt. region.
Ow: desert lands literally represent the most unique places on this earlth. They hold a secret of survival, an
aesthetic resource unmatched and they tell us of our past. They hold the potential for large and ecologically intact
additions to the wilderness system. With your help we can preserve these lands.
lmAT OTHERS THINK OF JJWA:
"Thl~ UWA does a good, effective and essential job in defending what remains of the most beautiful and unusual
landsc:ape in the U.S. The UWA deserves the support of all Americans who care about our best traditions." Edward
~[
"Th~e UWA has sought reasonable solutions to complex public lands issues and has provided a vital counterpoint
to traditional government and industry views. UW A has impressed us with its persistent and effective work on
behalf of Utah wild lands." Governor Scott Matheson
"Th~e UW A has worked skillfully and dil igently over the years to protect the best natural areas in the state, and its
success is nearly unbelieveable. Without the UW A we would not have had a Utah Forest Service wilderness bill in
1984." Joe Hauman. Deseret News Environmental Writer

November 1988
Dear friend of Utah wilderness:
As a friend and supporter of Utah's outdoors, you know of our state's incredible natural
treasures. From the power of the roaring Colorado in Canyonlands National Park to the 13,000
ft. peaks of the High Uintas; from the archaeologically unique Grand Gulch to the slickrock
canyons of the Escalante; from the wildlife-rich Book Cliffs to the island ecosystems of the Great
Basin mountain ranges; no other state is so richly endowed with this diversity of wildlands.
Indeed, our quality of life centers upon these treasures.
The survival of these wild places cannot be taken for granted. During the past two years, the
Forest Service has initiated damaging logging, roading and oil and gas exploration in exceptional
wildlands on the North Slope of the High Uinta Mountains .... On the spectacular San Rafael
Swell, uncontrolled off-road vehicle use is threatening bighorn sheep populations and damaging
the Swell's fragile soils and many threatened and endangered plant species ... .In eastern Utah's
Book Cliffs, the Bureau of Land Management wants to open one-half million acres of critical
wildlife habitat and potential wilderness to oil and gas development. ... Along the Wasatch Front,
overdevelopment threatens to urbanize our canyons by expanding into the few remaining
undeveloped areas. You get the picture--if we, you and I, don't act to protect our wildlands, the
things we love most about Utah are going to disappear.
That's why I'm asking you to join the Utah Wilderness Association. UWA is Utah's most effective
voice for sound public land management. In 1980 we intitiated the first major push for Forest
Service wilderness designation in Utah. And in 1984 we found success in the passage of the Utah
Wilderness Act. The Act may have been the single most important piece of conservation
legislation in our state's history. It designated 12 wildernesses, led by the massive High Uintas
Wilderness and including areas as diverse and unique as Mt. Naomi, Mt. Olympus, Twin Peaks,
Deseret Peak, Mt. Nebo, Dark Canyon, Box-Death Hollow and a host of others.
Today that battle continues with our efforts focussing on protecting areas which should have
been designated wilderness in 1984. They include additions to the North Slope of the Uintas, the
Whiterocks River drainage on the eastern end of the range, the Mt. Watson area on the western
end, The Tushar Mts., Wayne Wonderland, additions to the Pine Valley Mts. Wilderness and
others. In late-1986 we appealed the Dixie and Manti-LaSal forest plans because they failed to
protect important unroaded areas. The result of the appeals? After more than a year of
negotiations, over 300,000 acres of unroaded areas are now protected from logging, ORV use
and other surface disturbing activities! But it won't end there. We will never back away from
our decade-long commitment to designate as Wilderness all deserving lands on our national
forests.
�In 1980, with the BlM wilderness review floundering due to BlM's timid attitude toward
preserving wilderness, we organized the largest formal appeal ever filed before the Department
of Interior--925,000 acres. As a result, 90% of these lands were kept in the BlM wilderness
review. The 3,000-page appeal, dotted with hundreds of maps and photos and written by over
100 affiants, wound its way through the appeal process for four years. During that time over
800,000 acres were put back into the wilderness inventory.
In March 1985, after five years in the making, UWA's visionary proposal for almost 4 million
acres of wilderness on Utah's BlM lands was released. The proposal focusses on nine integral
geographical and ecological regions within the state in order to assure preservation of our most
important biological and recreational areas. It also has the endorsement of a host of
environmental groups within Utah. But gaining congressional support will not be easy. We'll
need your help to assure that Utah's world-class desert wilderness will get the protection it
deserves.
The Utah Wilderness Association works on more than just designating wilderness. We have led
the battle to prevent overcutting of timber on our national forests and overgrazing on all public
lands. We have fought agency proposals to allow oil and gas exploration in critical roadless
areas. We have battled to protect bighorn sheep from exploitation by off-road vehicles. We
have fought for wildlife and wild rivers.
And we do all of this with an active and vocal membership. We conduct fieldtrips and workshops
ranging from wilderness role-playing events to special presentations on Utah's predators. We
prepare a bi-monthly newsletter, the UWA Review. Every year we host a membership
rendezvous and conduct seminars with a variety of guest speakers such as Ed Abbey, Barry
lopez, Roderick Nash, Michael Frome and Phil Fradkin, Congressman Wayne Owens, Senator
Jake Garn and former Governor Scott Matheson. We sponsor an annual poetry contest which
receives hundreds of entries from throughout the West. By joining the Utah Wilderness
Association not only do you contribute toward the preservation of wilderness but you gain the
opportunity to learn a lot about the issues and how to get involved. NOT A BAD DEAL FOR
$20 A YEAR!
The future of our public lands depends upon our willingness to act. Those who want to exploit
these lands purely for economic gain will certainly be heard. As a member of UWA you can be
sure your voice will also be heard.
Best regards,
~~
Dick Carter

Dear Mr. Beard:
The CEQ Regulatiens (40 CFR ·1500 .et seq) yeu refer to in your letter
ef Nevember 21, 1979, were, in fact, . published in the Nevember 29, 1978,
edition of the Federal Register ·. The eight';"'month deadline given therein
fer cempliance dealt .strictly with direct Federal projects~ Agencies
administering programs under Sectien 102(2)D ef NEPA were allowed an additienal feur months for State . agencies to adopt implementing procedure:;;~
Accerdingly, UDOT was respensible for cempliance with the CEQ RegUlations
no. later than Nevember· 30,1979.
On Octeber 31, 1979, by memerandum from William D. Hurley to George
W. Behn, Divisien Administrator for FHWA, UDOT gave .its . assurance that: .
"By Nevember 30, 1979, all prejects . which are te . be developed under Federalaid Highway Programs will be advanced· in full cempliance with 40 CFR 1500
et seq · (Ceuncil on Envirenmental Quality . RegUlations) ."
Changes to · the UDOT Action Plan reflecting the CEQ RegUlatiens have
been under preparatien since November, 1978, but have not been published
pending the reissue ef FHPM (Federal-aid Highway Program Manual) 7-7-2 by
FHWA. FHPM 7-7-2 is presently being rewritten tocenferm to. . the CEQ Regulatiens. When · it is published in final ferm, UDOT can publish its . changes
to. the Action Plan.
Under the circumstances · described above, UDOT, :E0r the time being,
coordinates withFHWA on a project-by-project basis determining for each
project whether · an EIS, EA (Environmental Assessment) . is required or
whether the project qualifies · as a categorical exclusion as described in
the regulatiens. ·
I hope this satisfies yeur requests. If yeu weuld like any further
information en this matter, please · feel free to centact me. My office
number is 533-5224.
Very truly yours,

Reference is made - o -the category assignment for the proposed subj ectt
project.
In accordance with the Federal-aid Highway Program Hanua-l 7-7-2 (f), a
review of the nonmajor classification has been made.
Because- of the
scope of the project, the number of Congressional and public inquiries
received and the apparent opposition to the -proposed project based
on environment~l considerations, it has been determined that this can
no longer be considered a - nonrnajor -action.
Consequently, the nonmajor,
category III assignment concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration
on April 5, 1979, is hereby withdrawn.

As you are well aware, all new environmental actions are controlled by
the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Order number 5610.1C i~sued
in final form September 18, 1979, and the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) Regulations which became effective on November 30, 1979.
This project now falls under the control of these two regulations for
all applicable environment actions and will be processed as a major
action.
We will be available to discuss this if there are any further questions.

Proposed Construction Activities in Logan Canyon, Utah
HE :
Dear Mr. 13ohn:
The utah Chaptee Sierra Club is concerned about proposed construction in Logan
Canyon, Utah. Present plans call for widening of the existing highway. We are particularly concerned with compliance under the N
ational Environmental Policy Act.
As I understand the situation your office has decicied to change Logan Canyon from
a Category I (environmentally sensitive) designation to a Category III designation; the
Category III designation means that the area is not environmentally sensitive. This
decision allows the Utah Department of Transportation to proceed with construction without the preperation of an Environmental Statement.
Under Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for compliance with NEPA an
environmental as se 'sment is regularly prepared on all federal actions. This brief review of environmenc.a.l impacts is uSed to determine i f an Environmental Irrrt-act Statemen:'
is neen~d or not needed.
The Utah Department of Transportation has stated publicly
several times that they ~ill r~t need an Environmental Statement for construction activities. However , they do not plan to release the environmental ~ ssessment until Jhe
spring of .'1980. The Sierra Club is now investigating this apparent violation of public
law. Answers to the following items will help tis in obtaining a better understanding
of the pr.)ject.
1.
{hen did your office decide to change Logan Canyon from a Category I designation to a Category III designation? How was the public involved in this
decision making process?
When was this decision announced to the public?

the environmental assessment has not been prepared?

HE: Road construction activities proposed for Logan Canyon.
Dear Mr. Hamre:
The Utah Chapter Sierra Club is concerned about recent events in the proposal to
widen and realign the Logan Canyon highway. The Sierra Club is interested in Forest
Service involvement in the project and would appreciate a reply to the following items:
Establishment of Lead
encies
Section 1501.5

L~lement
Any Federal agency, or any state or local agency or private person
substantially affected by the absence of lead agency designation, may
make a written request to the potential lead agencies that a lead agency be designated."
The Sierra Club requests your office to designate a lead agency for construction
of the project. Is the Forest Service the lead agency or the Utah Department of Transportation;
2.
Project approval!aisapproval authority
Information on the Forest Service permit requirements for construction of the highway
is needed. Wbat kind of permits will your office issue for construction of the highway?
v/ill the public be involved in the decision to issue or deny the permit(s)?
Data on
how the public may be involved in the permit process is requested.
Will the issuance
of a permit require preperation of an Environmental Statement, or an Environmental Analysis

3. EvalUQtion of the environmental issues
Section 1506.5 ( b) of the Council on Environmental ,. .:uality n.egula tions for Imp e:nenting the Procedural
Pro~isions
of the National Environmental Policy Act reads:
"
Environm3:1tJ.l Assessments. If an agency permits an applicant to prepare an environmental assessment, the agency, besides fulfilling the requirements of paragraphs (a) of this section, shall make its own evaluation
of the environmental issues and take responsibility for the scope and conten\:' of the environrnental Ci.ssessment. It
As I understand the present situation, the Utch Department of Transportantion has
decided that an Environmental Impact statement ~ill not be required for construction
activities in Logan Canyon; the decisio n to proceed without an Environ~ental State ~ent
included little if any p~blic involveMent; the Sierra Club is planning action to reverse
this decision.
W
hat is your office doing to evaluate the "enviroI1llental issues •••
and content of the environmental assessment'? The environmental assessment will be released by the Utah Department of Transp~ rt Ltion in the spring of 1980 ; we would l Lke to
e. couro 6 e your office to evaluate t~e environ.~ental issues at the earlie st date possible ,
ental assess~ent. The environmental ass and specifically before release of this environr.o
essment should include compliance with Executi~e Orders 11990 and _1988 , Protection of

be appreciated.

HE:
Proposed construction activities in Logan Canyon
Dear Mr. Roberts:
I he.ve recently ta.lked with Craig Rayle and others concerning the proposed road
construction activities in Logan Canyon. This area is environmentally sensitive,
and should receive the attention of public and private organizations before any decisions are made on construction of the highway.
The Sierra Club has expended considerable efforts on obtaining information on the
project; additional information is requested from your office. As I understand the
situation, the Utah Department of Transportation has decided that an Environmental Im• pact statement is Iwt necessary for construction of the highway from Right Hand Fork to
Ricks Spring. Furthermore I understand that the road alignment will be altered considerably in the Ricks Spring area, including placing the highway on the opposite side
of the River. Associated with this realignment will be the development of a Forest
Service campground and recreation facilities at Ricks Spring.
Additionally, I understand that the Forest Service is planning to construct a campgrouni L~ ~iood Camp Hollow. As you may recall the Sierra Club has urged the Forest Service to include Wood Camp Hollow in the Mount Naomi Roadless Area.
As I understand the
situation fill material from road construction in Logan Canyon will be used in the construction of the road base to the campground and construction of the campground itself.
The proposed construction of the highway will include the removal of large amounts
of rock and dirt. The disposal of this cut material is of concern to the Sierra Club.
Relative to the three paragraphs immediately above, answers to the following inquiries
is requested.

rlicks Spring Campground Development
Does, the Forest Service plan to construct a campground and recreation facility at
nicks Spring in associaticn with the proposed highway construction? If 50, please provide information on the size of the campground and recreation facility. Information
on impacts on the riparian and floodplain resources is requested.
2.
Wood Camp Hollow Campground Development
Does the Forest Service plan to construct a campground in Woodcamp Hollow in association with the proposed highway construction? Will cntllaterial from the highway construction be used in the campground development? Information on the size of the campground is appreciated.
3.
Disposal of Fill Material
The Sierra Club would appreciate information on the disposal of cut material. Jpecifically, we would appreciate information on where the cut material is to be placed. Will
fill material be placed in Temple Fork, Logan River, -Wood -: Camp Hollow and/or "1tauled out
of the canyon!
4.
Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act
How does your office plan to compl~ with the National Environmental Policy Act in
construction of the Wood Camp and Rick Springs facilities? If an Environmental Assessment
Report is to be prepared,please give the estimated date for preperation of said statements.
Due to the
tL~ely
natur3 of this matter, a reply is requested within ten working days.
I look forward to hearino frOM your office in the near future.

TRAFFIC IN GOGAn C NYON - Is i t increasing?
The answer depends on the time of year.
If you talk about the entire year, there is no suggestion of
an increase in traffic %xk through the canyon. Over the past 13
years, the annual traffic flow has fluctuated a bit from year to
year, but without any pattern of increase.
Slli~er traffic (June, July, and August) is a different situation .
There is more traffic in the canyon during these months, and
it is increasing slightly from year to year. Based on past trends
o£ traffic and estimates of~pulation growth, the most optimistic
predictions of summer traffic growth do not exceed 2 percent per
year.

of Transportation
Federal Highway
Administration
Region Eight
February 11, 1987
B21163.DO
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Federal Highway Administration, u.s. Forest Service, and Utah Department
of Transportation (UDOT) will jointly hold an agency scoping ' meeting for the
environmental impact statement (EIS) being prepared for U.S. 89 through Logan
Canyon (Summit and Rich Counties, Utah). The meeting will be on March 4, at
10:00 a.m. in Logan City Hall, Logan, Utah.
(Agency) personnel are invited
to attend and provide input regarding major issues that should be examined
in the EIS and concerns about impacts of road improvements. Public scoping
meetings will be held on March 3, 7:00 p.m., at the Mountain Fuel Supply
Auditorium, 45 East 200 North in Logan, and on March 4 at 7:00 p.m. in Garden
City Hall. You are · also welcome to attend these meetings.
UDOT has contracted with CH2M HILL, an environmental engineering consulting
firm in Salt Lake City, to analyze transportation needs in Logan Canyon,
develop alternative plans for improvements, and evaluate the impact of those
plans on the .environment in an EIS. The Federal Highway Administration and
the U.S. Forest Service will be cooperating agencies on the EIS, which will
be developed in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Several public meetings discussing the project have been held. Notification
of other scoping meetings will be provided through the local news media.
Meetings will also be held when the draft EIS is completed to obtain comments
on its contents.
The proposed action would improve U.S. 89 through Logan Canyon from Right
Fork, about 9 miles east of Logan, to Garden City, a distance of approximately
28 miles. This road passes through the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, which
provides scenic and recreational resources. Portions of the highway are a
narrow two-lane road with numerous curves and considerable gradient. The
highway is travelled by a significant number of recreational and other large
vehicles, whi~h, along with the road constraints, often results in traffic
delays.
Improvements to be considered include widening of the roadway and
�Page 2

B21163.DO
shoulders, flattening of curves, replacing and widening of bridges, adjustment
of road gradient, improvement of signing, provision of additional recreational
turn-outs, provision of climbing lanes, and constructing a new road along a new
alignment in selected areas.
The project area can be divided into three sections based on the design characteristics of the road. These sections are: 1) Right Fork to 1.8 miles above
Ricks Spring; 2) 1.8 miles above Ricks Spring to Bear Lake Summit; 3} Bear Lake
Summit to Gargen City. Different alternatives might be selected for each of
the road sections. Alternatives currently being considered for the project
include: 1) no action; 2} spot improvements; 3} widening along the existing
alignment; 4} widening and improving the existing alignment; 5} constructing
the road along a new alignment.
A fact sheet providing information about the project will be sent to you approximately 3 weeks prior to the scheduled meetings. Written comments will be
accepted through Monday, April 6. These should be addressed to:
James Naegle
Utah Department of Transportation
4501 South 2700 West
Salt Lake City, Utah 84119
We request that you advise us at the above address by March 1, whether your
office will be making a statement at the scoping meeting.
Questions may be directed to James Naegle, telephone (801}965-4160, or the
Consultant for the Study, CH2M HILL in Salt Lake City, Utah, telephone

�INTRODUCTION
This technical memorandum describes existing conditions,
potential impacts, and possible mitigation measures for land
uses affected by proposed improvements to U.s. Highway 89
Logan Canyon between Right Fork and Garden City, Utah.
The
proposed project involves road improvements through various
alternatives, such as replacing bridges,
introdu~ing
g
lanes, developing parking areas, modifying
~rttersections,

�METHODS
Land uses in and near the proposed project area were described
based on a review of available literature and data, observation of the project area, and conversations with agency personnel and other knowledgeable persons.
Potential land use
impacts were identified based on the type of improvement

�EXISTING CONDITIONS
RECREATION
The Wasatch-Cache National Forest receives the greatest recreational use of all National Forests in the nation.
In
1981, the entire Forest received 6,730,000 visitor days of
recreational use.
Logan Canyon recreational use in 1981 was
visitor days, or about
perc~pt
of that for
the entire Forest. The Wasatch-Cache NatJ¢~i~;i Forest Plan
emphasizes the use of Logan Canyon for
pe9r;~i:~ft.:ion.

for recreational p~}p6~es, then return home), recreational

use is also associated with people passing through the canyon with some other ultimate destination.
Since u.S. 89 is
a popular route to several of the national parks, travelers
to the parks often stop in the canyon for travel breaks.
Geological features such as Logan Cave and Ricks Spring are
points of interest to travelers.
The fall color of deciduous
trees and shrubs in the canyon also attracts many sightseers.
A study of traffic volume variation in the canyon from February through August 1986 (see Table 2)

The percentage of destina-

In summer, only about
20 percent of the weekday traffic and 30 percent of the weekend traffic into the canyon stays within the canyon.
However,
since traffic volume is 4 to 5 times greater in summer than
winter, actual numbers of destination users of the canyon is
greater in summer than winter .

Downhill skiing ranks fourth,
picnicking fifth, and fishing sixth.
Some bicycling occurs
in the canyon, although most of this activity is confined to
the lower canyon area close to Logan and Utah State University.
Little pedestrian activity occurs along the highway because
of its narrowness.
Walking along the road does occur near
points of interest where parking is not immediately available.

�Beaver Mountain Recreation Area is a private concession within
the Forest that provides downhill and cross-country skiing
and other winter recreation pursuits.
The area has 16 runs
and three ski lifts; two of the lifts were installed in 1985.
A fourth lift is to be constructed when financially feasible.
The area includes a day lodge, but no overnight accommodations.
Sweetwater Resort in Garden City provides overnight lodging
and eating facilities for Beaver Mountain visitors.
User
figures at Beaver Mountain for the current and two past seasons are given in Table 7.

Utah State University maintains a forest research station
approximately one-half mile south of the Tony Grove Guard
Station.
A Utah Department of Transportation road mainte-
nance shop is located near Willow Springs, approximately
2 miles west of Bear Lake Summit.
Nearly all lands adjacent to u.S. 89 in Rich County are privately owned.
Most of this land up to about one mile from
Garden City is undeveloped because of steep slopes.
However,
Bridgerland Village a subdivision, containing about 53 residences, lies adjacent to the highway less than one mile east

Sweetwater Resort lands lie
just to the southeast of this subdivision.
A gravel pit
occurs within 200 feet of the highway east of the summit.
Another gravel pit is within one-half mile of the highway
near Mile post 411, almost to Garden City.
The eastern
terminus of the project highway is the community of Garden
City.
Land uses within this community include several
recreational campgrounds; two motels; Sweetwater Resort; a
portion of Bear Lake State Park; two grocery stores; several

Overhead primary lines run east toward Garden City,
then south-southwest.
They eventually serve the Bridgerland

February 10, 1989
Dale Bosworth
Supervisor, Wasatch-Cache National Forest
125 South State St.
Salt Lake City, Utah, 84111
Dear Dale:
I regret I was unable to attend the meeting concerning the
Logan Canyon Highway Project on February 3. Unfortunately, it was
necessary for me to be out of Logan.
I have read the latest (Jan. 20th) version of the Agency Alternative for the project, and I am greatly concerned. I do not wish to anal ize it in detail here, but only to give you some general comments:
1. This is basically the high speed alternative in the preliminary
DEIS. We appear to be just about where we were over two years (and
endless amounts of time and energy) ago.
2. The middle section of the Canyon has been reduced to only 4 milesfrom Right Fork to lower Twin Bridge; we regard the middle section as
the entire distance from Right Fork to Ricks Springs. This redesignation,
with the attendent upgrading of the road to a 35 mph design (probably
50 mph signing) from Twin Bridge to Ricks Springs is unacceptable, since
the consequent environmental damage will be severe.
3. The high speed design of the upper section will result in unacceptable environmental impacts, particularly in the Beaver Creek and
Summit sections.
4. There are several safety concerns ~/ith respect to the placement
of passing lanes, especially in the Dugway and near the Limber Pine
turnout.
5. The implementation of this alternative requires 45 (!) ammendments to the Forest Plan, surely a new worlds record for any forest
plan involving a single project. The cumulative effect of this large
number of ammendments is such that a major change in The Plan will
be required - a revision, with everything that implies. Attempts to
get by with an ammendment will certainly be appealed.
6. The Agency Alternative has little detail, making analysis of
its impacts by citizens not throughly acquainted with both the area and
the previous history almost impossible. I f it appears as such in the
EIS, the EIS will be challenged as not meeting NEPA criteria.
7. The cover letter sent with the alternative, bearing the signatures of the three agency engineers, attempts to disclaim the alternative as a IIpreferred alternative. This is, to say the least, disingeneous. Any alternative that is endorsed by a Forest Service repll
�presentative is clearly destined to become the "preferred alternative."
I wish to repeat something live said in previous meetings with you: we
accepted the Forest Plan on the assumption it was to be taken seriously
by you. It states, e.g., that liThe road will not be raised to a higher
standard than existing." (Chapter 6, p. 236). Other places in the plan
are clear about maintining the scenic quality of the highway (VQO classification, e.g.). You have recently designated the highway as a "Scen ic
Byway". If the Plan had proposed the kinds of changes found in the Agency
Alternative, it certainly would have been appealed. To abandon the Plan
now, under pressure from UDOT and FHWA, is to break faith with the environmental community and reduce Forest Service credibility to a new low.
Stw.:erely,
.

Project Setting and Objectives
A.
Relation of U.S. 89 to Region
1
�1.
Most of project area lies within Cache
National Forest, therefore, USFS and FHWA are
cooperating agencies on EIS
2.
Logan Canyon is scenic and recreational
resource
3.
U.S. 89 serves traffic
a.
Utilizing canyon for recreation
b.
From regional communities accessing the
regional trade center of Logan or recreational opportunities around Bear Lake
c.
Through traffic "from the accessing
recreational areas of Yellowstone and
Teton National Parks
4.
U.s. 89 classified as a "rural minor
arterial"
5. ·
Classifications carry standards to be ·met;
U.S. 89 does not presently conform to standards of a rural minor arterial
6.
Primary objective of study is to achieve compromise between "rural minor arterial" standards and scenic and recreational resources
of canyon
a.
Resources of canyon and population
increase will increase the traffic
volume on U.S. 89 in future
b.
Cross-section elements of road are significantly substandard throughout most
of project area; gradient and curves add
to problems
c.
Frequency of accidents is significantly
greater in 16 areas than the average for
the Canyon
d.
Explain level of service - quality measure of operating conditions
e.
At present volumes, road falls into
Level of Service D
f.
By 2000, the level of service will drop
to E in some places, by 2005 will
generally be E throughout project area
2
�7.
Results of traffic needs study presented at
previous meetings; fact sheet is available
III. Alternatives Development
A.
Study area can be . divided into three sections
based on terrain and road design characteristics
1.
Right Fork to 1.8 miles above Ricks Spring
2.
1.8 miles above Ricks Spring to Bear Lake
Summit
3.
Bear Lake Summit to Garden City
B.
Different alternatives are appropriate to each
section
C.
Alternatives not yet final; may be increased/
decreased as a result of input from scoping meetings
D.
Alternatives generally cover wide range of options
to provide good comparison of pros and cons of
each
E.

Use of alternate canyon for new road for through
traffic has been suggested as alternative by many
in the past. Has been determined economically
infeasible. Therefore, must do best we can to
balance local recreation/through traffic needs on
existing U.S. 89

�NOTICE OF PUBLIC SCOPING MEETINGS
US-89 Logan Canyon
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), U. S. Forest Service (USFS), and Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT)
will jointly hold public scoping meetings for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) being prepared for U.S. Highway 89 through Logan Canyon in Cache and Rich Counties, Utah,
on March 3, at 7:00 p.m. at the Mountain Fuel Supply Auditorium, 45 East 200 North in Logan, and on March 4, at 7:00
p.m. in Garden City Hall. A meeting for governmental agencies
and public officials will be held March 4, at 10:00 a.m. in
the Logan City Hall.
The general public, interest groups,
and governmental agency personnel are invited to attend to
provide input regarding their concerns about impacts of road
improvements on the environment of the Canyon and issues
which should be addressed. Comments and suggestions are
invited from all interested parties.
UDOT has contracted with CH2M HILL, an environmental engineering consulting firm in Salt Lake City, to analyze · transportation needs in Logan Canyon, develop alternative plans
for improvements, and evaluate the impact · of those plans on
the environment in an EIS.
The FHWA and the USFS will be
cooperating agencies on the EIS, which will · be developed in
conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) .
NEPA requires that a scoping process take place prior to the
conduct of an EIS.
It is the purpose of the scoping meetings
to de·t ermine from the interested communi ty what are perceived
to be the sensitive resources of the pr6ject area and what
environmental factors should be studied most closely in the
EIS.
Several public meetings discussing the project have
been held . previously.
Other scoping meetings will be held
a~ determined necessary, and information on time and place
will be provided through the local news media. Public meetings will also be held when the draft EIS is completed to
obtain comments on its contents.
The proposed action would improve US-89 through Logan Canyon
from Right Fork about 9 miles east of Logan, to Garden City,
a distance of approximately 28 miles.
This road passes
through the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, which provides
scenic and recreational resources. Portions· of the highway
are a narrow two-lane road with numerous curves and considerable gradient. The highway is traveled by .a significant
number of recreational and other large vehicles, which,
along the the road constraints, often results in delays of
traffic.
Improvements to be considered include widening of
the roadway and shoulders, flattening of curves, replacing
and widening of bridges, adjustment of road gradient, improvement of signing, provision of additional recreational turn-

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Stan Nuffer
Interdisciplinary Team
File
FROM:
Mark Hill
DATE:
December 19, 1986
SUBJECT:
Resource Value of Logan River
PROJECT:
B21163.FO
At the last Interdisciplinary Team meeting a question was
raised concerning the perceived "value" of the Logan River.
It is a generally accepted public, state, and federal agency
view that the Logan River is a sensjtjve and valuable natural
~ource.
This viewpoint has evo~ed over time and i~_derived
'from three se arate ers ectives : ~recreational value~ conomic
yalueL an
iolo ical value. The river can be examined from
each of these perspectives in order to understand the value,
sensitivity, and importance credited to it.
RECREATIONAL VALUE
..
The Logan River has been cl~ssified by the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources as a
a
II - H' h Priorit Stream
has been placed on this agency's Unique Stream List. These
actions by the UDWR reflect the Logan River's unique fishery
and aquatic habitat as well as the stream's ability to sustain high quality, wild populations of salmonids. At the
present time the Logan River above the impoundments is managed as a wild trout fishery.
A self-sustaining trout
fishery has numerous and relatively narrow habitat requirements at various life stages; consequently, the fishery is
sensitive to any degradation or alteration of water quality
and stream morphology. Fishing pressure is also a key factor in maintaining a wild trout population, and angling must
be managed appropriately.
Throughout the state of Utah there are a limited number of
stream miles classified as Class I or II fisheries.
The
Logan River is also unique in that it is both a high priority
and an urban fishery. Nowhere else in Utah is a wild trout
fishery located so close t Q _ rna J ~r metro olitan area. Cona
sequently, the recreational value of the Logan River is substantial.
�MEMORANDUM to Stan Nuffer
Page 2
December 19, 1986
B21163.FO
The intensive recreational use of Logan River is shown in
Figure 1 as the estimated past, present, and future number
of fishing days.
The generally steady rise in fishing days
reflects the population increase in Cache County and metropolitan Logan City over the last 35 years.
In addition to the river's accessibility to a large number
anglers, it serves as a Datural laborat9£Y for Utah State
University.
The Logan River is used to train students in
fish and wildlife, hydrology, forestry, archaeology, geology,
engineering, and environmental field techniques. Numerous
studies, theses, and dissertations have been carried out
using the river's environmental features.
~f
ECONOMIC VALUE
Although fishing pressure is heavy on Logan River, excellent
catches have been made (such as brown trout weighing up to
36 pounds).
The mystique of "big trout" combined with the
opportunity to catch the bag limit make the Logan River a
preferred fishery for anglers.
As such, the river generates
a substantial amount of spending by anglers and is a valuable
economic asset both to the state of Utah and Cache Val ey~
Table 1 shows the past, present, and future amount of money
spent annually to fish the Logan River.
In 1970 the river
become a million-dollar fishery.
During the 40-year period
shown in Table 1, over $68 million dollars will be spent by
Logan River anglers.
Based on the river's length of 30 miles,
about $30,000 was expended in 1985 for each mile of stream.
Historical creel census data indicates that over 47 percent
of the fish harvested are taken bet\veen DeWi tt Sp'ring--and -the mouth of Beaver Creek -.---------------~--

b UDWR annual cost factor and regression analysis (r=0.73)
Another economic factor is the investment value by the state
of Utah.
The UDWR, from 1960 through 1980, annually stocked
the Logan River with brown and rainbow trout. An average of
36,612 trout were stocked each year at an estimated investment of $732,000 (based on an average cost of $l/fish over
20 years). Additional investment value has been made by the
UDWR and the Forest Service as labor and expenses for management and study programs.
BIOLOGICAL VALUE
The Logan River supports four salmonid species: brown trout,
cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and mountain whitefish.
The
relative abundance and distribution of these species varies
by stream reach.
In general, however, the river above Right
Fork has a smaller brown trout and whitefish population with
a larger cutthroat and rainbow population than does the area
below.
Table 2 shows some historical data that indicates the general
quality and health of the Logan River fishery over time.
From 1948 to 1982 the catch rate and total numbers of fish
caught has remained remarkably similar. This also indicates
that management efforts have been generally successful.

K-factors or coefficient of condition are a measure of fish
health or condition.
It is also a measure of energy transfer through trophic levels and K-factors ~ 1.0 for trout po ulations indicate that fish

In the case of Logan River, K-factors for three
sizes of trout have remained relatively constant over a
20-year period. Taken as a whole, these data indicate stable and suitable habitat conditions.

Fundamentally, highly valuable features of trout habitat are
the overhanging banks and the fish pools associated with
streambanks and bank vegetation. A Logan River habitat
inventory showed that in 1962 these conditions did exist
along Logan River segments that have not had channel
encroachment. Along river segments encroached up to
30 years ago, no valuable streambank-associated fish pools
and cover were found.
Following on-site encroachment impact
30 years ago, the substitution of "junk" pools for the valuable bank- and vegetation-associated pools and cover occurred.
Today one of the major limiting factors in the physical environment is the lack of good quality pools.
Table 3 shows the results of a Forest Service habitat study
performed on Logan River in 1966. The percent of optimum
habitat (based on pool, substrate, bank conditions, and other
environmental factors) is shown in comparison to other,
regional streams. Compared to other streams, the Logan River
exhibits high biological value for a salmonid fishery.

SUMMARY
The data, information, and statements presented in this memorandum must be taken as general comments, subject to revision
when a more detailed analysis is performed. Nevertheless,
this discussion does validate the position that the Logan
River is a valuable resource when viewed from recreational,
economic, and biological perspectives.

Sa fety
Highway safety in Logan Canyon has been a concern of previous highway
projects, and has been raised in the current project.
Safety for any highway involves two major issues: (i) accident rates
and (ii) severity of accidents. UDOT has provided data for the period 19801985 (6 years) for accident rates in the canyon. These rates were compared
with the accident rate for Rural Arterial Federal Highways in Utah (the standard), and stattistical analysis indicated 3 or 4 sections ~ the highway
(of 13 sections) had accident rates significantly higher than those of the
standard. The other sections of the canyon had rates insignificantly differerent or significantly lower than the standard. Subsequent analysis of the
UDOT rates, however, revealed many were in error, casting serious doubt on
the validity of the data. This also cast doubt on the validity of the standard: if many of the calculated accident rates for Logan Canyon are wrong,
what about the reliability of the standard, presumably arrived at by the same
methods? Requests for UDOT data upon which these c~lculations are based
were made, but no data has been furnished. In order to make meaningful comparisons of accident rates, Logan Canyon should be compared with similar canyon highways, such as Sardine Canyon, Ogden Canyon, Little Cottonwood Canyon,
Provo Canyon and Spanish Fork Canyon. No such comparisons have been made
by UDOT or CH2M, and the necessary data 'has not been provided.
Faced with this serious question concerning accident rates, CH2M chose
instead to compare total accidents over a 6 year period (1980-85) for 0.1
mile sections of the canyon with the average for 0.1 mile sections to determine the location of the highest accident numbers. This has led to identification of 16 0.1 mile sections (out of 374 0.1 mile sections total) as having significantly higher numbers of accidents .(4 or more accidents in 6 years,
80 % conficdence level) than the average 0.1 mile section. Such results would
occur for any highway, and it is important to note none of these 16 sections
had accident numbers greatly in excess of the expected number. Many sections
of the highway, by the same analysis, have significantly lower numbers of accidents.
At this point, there are no data to support a conclusion that Logan Canyon
has a significantly higher accident rate than any comparable highway in Utah.
With respect to severity of accidents, by far the most common accident is
sliding off the road in Winter, involving only one car. Deaths and serious
injury have been rar~, and the numbers are too low for any valid statistical
analysis. As many deaths have occurred in the lower improved sections (mouth
to Right Fork) as on the ~ of the highway from Right Fork to Beaver Mountain
turn off.
5ec7JOns
As the CH2M report concludes, the chances of being involved in a serious
accident in Logan Canyon are small at any time. Safety is not a current issue
in Logan Canyon and, in the absence of valid supporting data, cannot be used
as a justification for major highway modifications.

Safety of Logan Canyon
Description
An account of the resource
Paper stating the importance of highway safety which involves two major issues: accident ratesa and the severity of accidents. Analysis of the Utah Department of Transportation statistical accident data show that the number of accidents in Logan Canyon do not justify major modifications of the highway due to the fact that accidents included cars sliding off the road in winter which involved only one vehicle. The paper concludes that safety is not a current issue in Logan Canyon.

Faced
an appeal by the Utah
Wilderness Coalition, the Utah Bureau of
Land Management has agreed to restore
the original boundary of the Mt. Ellen-Blue
Hills Wilderness Study Area and to undertake "reasonable" reclamation efforts to
restore an area illegally chained on the
mountain.
Jim Catlin, conservation chairman for
the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club, who
wrvte the appeal on behalf of the Coalition.
heralded the decision as a major victory for
Utah conservationists. "It was especially
good to win this one because of the way Mt.
Ellen has been treated throughout the
wilderness study process." said Catlin. "The
treatment of Mt. Ellen may stand as the
worst violation of interim management
policy on BLM wildlands anywhere in the
country. In addition to the chaining. the
Bureau has allowed the Exxon drill rig and
its six miles of new road. a trespass road
near Mt. Ellen's summit, and a reservoir
within the wilderness study area. And much
of the land on Mt. Ellen that enjoys
wilderness study status is only there because
of conservationists' appeals."
The chaining occurred in 1984 when the
bureau contracted for the removal of pinyon
juniper forest on Mt. Ellen's western slopes
in the Henry Mountains of central Utah.
Two bulldozers linked by heavy chain
ripped through the forest. 300 acres of it
within the published boundary of the
8L726-acre wilderness study area (WSA).

with highly colored sedimentary formations.
Protection of and in the UWCs wilderness

is a spectacular plateau towering 2000 feet
above the surrounding desert. I ts rugged

of Zion National Park, the Pine Valley

and the Pink Cliffs.
Bryce
UWC is proposing wilderness designation
for 3 areas which would enhance the natural,
scenic and recreational values of Bryce
Canyon. BLM dropped all of these areas
during its inventory process.
Squaw and Willis Creek
Visitors to Bryce Canyon's popular overlooks view the pinyon-juniper covered
benchlands of the UWCs 21,OOO-acre Squaw
and Willis Creek proposal when they look
beyond the park's famed pinnacles and
spires. Wilderness protection of this area
would help assure protection of Bryce's
scenic viewshed. Similarly, protection of the
area's slickrock canyons and pinyon-juniper
bench lands would significantly expand hiking and camping opportunities available to
Bryce visitors. Conservationists also promote
the expansion of the park to include the
narrow strip of Forest Service lands which
lie between Bryce and the Squaw-Willis
Creek area.
Capitol Reef
Mt. Pennel
The UWCs 143,OOO-acre Mt. Pennel
proposal abuts Capitol Reefs eastern boundary for around 15 miles and comprises a
major portion of the scenic panorama viewed
by visitors to the park's impressive Strike
Valley overlook. Wilderness protection
would help to assure that coal strip mining
--once proposed for Swap Mesa and Cave
Flat - does not occur and scar this vista
with the sights of industrial development.
The BLM has recommended none of its
74,300-acre WSA for wilderness.
Fremont Gorge
The rolling benches and sandstone cliffs
in the UWCs l8,OOO-acre Fremont Gorge
wilderness proposal are a natural continuation of geologic features in Capitol Reef
National park. The area also includes many
deep, narrow canyons which drain into the
Fremont River as well as four miles of the
Fremont River Gorge itself. Colorful rock
walls and seasonal waterfalls create high
quality day hiking opportunities convenient
to the Capitol Reef campground.

Utahns oppose Burr Trail boondoggle
by Kris Dangerfield
In a whirlwind of activity in Washington
April 7-10, Utah conservationists lobbied
against Sen. Jake Garn's plans to pave the
Burr Trail, a 66-mile dirt road from Boulder,
Utah, to Bull Frog Marina on the shores of
Lake Powell.
The week-long lobbying effort culminated
in testimony before Sen. Malcolm Wallop's
Public Lands Subcommittee. Proponents of
the bill claim that paving 9.5 miles of the
road and gravelling the rest as Sen. Garn
proposes would substantially increase tourism in the area and would link all five Utah
national parks with the Lake Powell ferry
boat system in the Glen Canyon National
Recreation area.
Utah conservationists disagree, opposing
the bill over these critical major points:
• The paving plan would damage the
outstanding scenic, recreational and
wilderness values of the area which draw
The descent into Long Canyon along the
Burr Trail, one ofseveral places that various
proposals call for paving. Utah conservationists favor a minimum improvement
alternative at a fraction of the cost of
paving.
people who want to preserve the rural
character of the road and its somewhat
different "get away from it all experience;"
• Paving and gravelling are unnecessary.
The Burr Trail is now a graded, twowheel-<irive road easily driven in passenger cars; the road is passable year-round
except for 10 or so days a year during
periods of heavy rain or snow. Plus, there
are paved, highly scenic alternative routes
to Bull Frog, the new Boulder Mountain
road among them;
• The Burr Trail cannot be paved without
altering the existing horizontal and vertical alignment. To accommodate tour
buses, as the Gam bill provides, the road
would have to be widened from its
present 12 to 16 feet to 24 to 30 feet.
Major cuts and fills would be required in
the scenic and sensitive switchbacks portion of the road through the Waterpocket
Fold in Capitol Reef National Park;
• The costs of paving and gravelling, as
well as an estimated $435,000 for annual
maintenance and operation afterwards,
are excessive and unjustifiable, particularly in the face of the Gramm-Rudman
deficit reduction act which is already
taking its toll on established Utah parks.
Those budget cuts have forced reductions
in staff, services and operating hours for
Utah parks and visitor centers;
• Despite the fact that supporters of the bill
claim that only a handful of environmentalists is blocking the bill, the facts
show that a majority of people in Utah
oppose paving the Burr Trail. The Deseret
News/ KSL poll showed that 53 percent
of those polled who knew of the Burr
Trail opposed paving it. And editorials in
Utah's three major daily newspapers
have spoken against paving; and,
• There are serious flaws in the bill as
drafted. The legislation does not address
the original concerns - many also cited
by the National Park Service - the
conservationists raised in their opposition
to paving. Among them are cultural
resources, habitat for the endangered
peregrine falcon, the existence of two
wilderness study areas adjacent to the
road, the long-term impact of roadside
development on the seven state sections
that adjoin the road, the use of the road
for commercial hauling and increased use
of the backcountry with no increased
protection.
Much of the bill's intent would be accomplished not through the language of the bill
itself but through a contract between the
National Park Service and the State of
Utah. That contract exists now only in draft
form and some of the major provisions have
not been drafted at all. Among them is a
so-called "reverter clause" that would give
the road back to the State of Utah if the
Park Service C:id not maintain it.
One of the most troubling features of the
contract approach, according to Maggie
Fox of the Sierra Club, is the fact that if the
Congress passes a Garn bill incorporating a
contract that may not yet exist, the public is
denied any opportunity to participate in the
process.
The Utah group voiced precisely those
concerns in visits with National Park Service
Director William Penn Mott after the Senate
hearings. Mott firmly reiterated his view that
the road must follow the existing alignment
and meet other standards he set out in his
proposal of last fall or, "We won't sign the
contract."
Conservationists told the subcommittee
that the Park Service estimates the true cost
of doing what Sen. Gam wants done on the
Burr Trail will be around $16.4 million.
(That compares to the present annual
operating budget for Utah's 13 existing park
system units of only $11 million.)
Sen. Gam's bill would authorize the
expenditure of $7.7 million the Congress
conditionally approved late last year, leaving
the fiscally strapped State of Utah to come
up with roughly another $6 million in
addition to the $3.1 million it has already
scraped together for the Burr Trail paving
scheme.
The Utah conservationists also visited a
number of senators and representatives to
explain their views on the Burr Trail issue
and to seek help in defeating the measure.

accomplished two very important things,
said Del Smith, Springdale, associate director of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance
(SUWA).
"First, the extensive conflicts with the
language in the bill and the draft contract,
the environmental costs and the real costs to
the people of Utah were added to the Senate
record. Second, our testimony and our
discussions give to members of Congress
who are serious about balanced budgets and
environmental common sense a stronger
footing from which to oppose the measure."
Others involved in the hearings were Clive
Kincaid, Boulder, Utah, director ofSUW A;
Dale Dockstader, Rockville; Christine
Swanson, Boulder and Salt Lake City; Clay
Puckett, Orem; and Tom Messenger, Arlington, Va., a frequent visitor to Utah.

continued from cover
Chaining is a common practice on public
lands as a way to allegedly increase grazing
for domestic livestock. Such activities,
though, are illegal under the BLM's Interim
Management Policy (I M P), regulations that
are meant to ensure that the agency manages
wilderness study lands in ways that do not
impair their wilderness values.
After conservationists, including members of the Utah Wilderness Coalition,
protested the action, the agency announced
in August 1985 that it was modifying the
WSA boundary to remove the bulldozed
area, suggesting that it was only correcting a
"clerical error~ and that the ravaged land
was never part of the WSA.
The Coalition appealed both the chaining
and the boundary change to the Interior
Board of Land Appeals (IBLA), asking that
the 300 chained acres be reclaimed and
restored to the WSA. The IBLA notified
Catlin on April 17 that it has dismissed the
case because the BLM has agreed to the
Coalition's requests.

ZION & MOJAVE DESERT
REGION
T he head of Bear Trap Canyon just lies
outside of the Kolob part of Zion National
Park. Secretary Watt dropped this area from
wilderness study, but legal action by members
of the Utah Wilderness Coalition forced the
BLM to reinstate it. This small40-acre area is
now supported by the BLM for wilderness
designation. Deeply incised and capped with
pine forests, Bear Trap Canyon warrants a
visit.
Beaver Dam Wash
This large 38,22I-acre area laps into
Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. A large part of
the desert tortoise popUlation depends on the
Beaver Dam Slopes which form most of this
wilderness proposal. Brigham Young University conducts scientific studies and education
programs within this area. BLM dropped
this area from wilderness study without
publicly giving any reason. The Coalition
proposal deletes the few developments in this
area; no known conflicts block wilderness
designation.
Black Ridge
La Verkin Creek exits from the Kolob part
of Zion National Park through this road less
area - a popular route into the park. The
black volcanic mesa to the west of LaVerkin
Creek forms the rugged Black Ridge. Incredibly, the BLM dropped this area from
wilderness review, claiming that neither hiking
the ridgetop nor sightseeing and photography
of the scenic geological features such as the
adjacent Zion National Park "are individually
of outstanding quality."

Long protected from off-road vehicle use,
Canaan Mountain abuts the southwest side
of Zion National Park and the north side of
Colorado City, Utah. The masthead of the
Utah Wilderness News is an 1872 drawing of
this mountain by W .H. Holmes from Dutton's classic Tertiary History of the Grand
Canyon District. Although BLM supports
the core for wilderness, sigrtificant parts of
the cliff base, including those just south of
Rockville at the mouth of Zion Canyon, are
not recommended. Access is limited to just a
few routes to the top. The views of the
Arizona Strip and Zion Park from this area
are superlative.

Public comments ('ount! BLM now supports this area for wilderness designation
because of your comments. Exposed Navajo
Sandstone canyons lie northeast of St.
George, Utah on the south slopes of the Pine
Valley Mountains. Hiking access via the Red
Cliffs Recreation Area is popular. Drilling
wells for water poses a conflict with a few
acres on the south side of the area. Protection
of sensitive wildlife species including the gila
monster and chuckwalla make wilderness
designation needed. Several thousand acres
of adjacent National Forest road less lands
need consideration in the DEIS.
hard to defend: witness Cougar Canyon,
where clear streams flow into Nevada's
Beaver Dam State Park. BLM states that the
area has "extremely narrow and dense
riparian zones that are practically inaccessible." Earlier, BLM argued the area was too
rugged to be a wilderness area! No conflicts
exist in this area. The Coalition proposal
includes the Forest Service part of this area
near Pine Park on the north, a good starting
point for hikes.
Deep Creek
Hiking up the one of Zion's deeper canyons, you reach the unmarked boundary of
the National Park and wonder why the park
doesn't continue for another ten miles? Access
from outside Zion is from the Lava Point
area northeast of the park. The BLM proposal includes only the lower half of Deep
Creek: the upper half was dropped in order
to put in a developed mechanized recreation
facility. The Coalition proposal includes that
upper part of the canyon to preclude such
unwarranted uses.
Goose Creek Canyon
Tucked against a comer of Zion National
Park, this 89-acre area is recommended by
BLM for wilderness designation. To their
credit, the BLM is also trying to acquire
nearby land on Kolob Creek. Goose Creek
Canyon was dropped by Secretary Watt
from wilderness study but was reinstated by
our legal efforts. BLM states, "Mountain lion
activity in the vicinity is heavy. The Utah
Division of Wildlife Resources considers
mountain lion herd 58 (which includes this
WSA) as the state's best kill record for
cougar hunting."
Joshua Tree Natural Area
You won't fmd Joshua Tree Natural Area
or the surrounding 12,460-acre roadless area
mentioned in the Utah DEIS. The BLM
recommended against wilderness for this
area without environmental review or a
chance for the public to comment. In addition to one of the most remarkable Joshua
tree communities, this area is critical habitat
for the desert tortoise. The BLM dropped a
majority of the area from wilderness study by
exaggerating the sigrtificance of a few impacts
on the edge of the area The Coalition redrew
the boundary excluding those impacts.
LaVerkin Creek Canyon
One of the special canyons in the Kolob
(northeast) section of Zion National Park is
upper LaVerkin Creek. The BLM recommends adding 1.5 miles of the upper canyon
to the Zion Park wilderness proposal. Douglas fIr, white fIr, aspen and juniper grace the
tops of the nearly vertical 900-foot-high
canyon walls.
Moquith Mountain
West of Kanab, Utah, and southwest of
Zion National Park, Moquith Mountain
abuts Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Reserve.
Several deep canyons incise the Verrnillion
Cliffs offering hanging gardens and archeological ruins. The most amazing value is the
pockets of ponderosa pine nested in sand
dunes, a unique biologic community containing endangered plants. The BLM recommends nonwilderness, leaving the area open
to jeeps and motorbikes.

Red Mountain
Sandwiched between Snow Canyon State
Park and Gunlock State Beach, Red Mountain offers hunting, backpacking, and horseback riding for the St. George area, six miles
to the southwest. In 1984 the BLM recommended non wilderness for this study area.
They now recommend wilderness - largely
because of effective public testimony.

Red Butte
Locals call it ~the most beautiful drive in
North America~ - the road from Virgin.
Utah, that crosses the middle of Zion heading
north to the Upper Kolob Plateau. Its beauty
owes partly to Red Butte - a 2,OOO-foothigh sandstone massif abutting the park east
of LaVerkin Creek. Supported by BLM for
wilderness, this is another example of legislators drawing straight lines for a park boundary, ignoring the pleading of the land.
Secretary Watt dropped this area and - you
guessed it - we sued and won.

Hikers exiting Zion National Park in the

wilderness study. This is another logical
extension of Zion's wild country.
Spring Canyon
Visitors to Zion notice the deep-red sandstone canyons just north of the Kolob
Canyon turnoff from 1-15 to the northern
part of Zion. This is Spring Canyon - rival
to the Kolob area itself. Secretary Watt
dropped this area from study but members
of the Coalition sued, reinstating the study.
Now the BLM recommends wilderness partly a result of the lawsuit but also because
of public comment.

North Fork Virgin River
of
The North Fork of the Virgin River flows
into the northeast corner of Zion National
Park and is clearly of park caliber, yet was
excluded by the ruler-straight boundary.
Many hikers walk this canyon unaware of
the mistake the boundary makers made.
BLM supports wilderness for this area - but
only as a result of strong public support.
Orderville Canyon
oen
The classic Virgin Narrows hike through
Zion National Park begins by passing
through this canyon east of the park. The
area includes several important side canyons:
Esplin Gulch, Englestead Hollow, Walker
Gulch, and Birch Hollow. Initially, the BLM
recommended nonwilderness but as a result
of your comments, the BLM reversed itself
and recommended wilderness. This area is a
logical component of Zion National Park.
Parunuweap Canyon
East of Zion National Park, this area is the
scene of one of the most protracted wilderness battles in the state. The BLM tried to
drop all this area from wilderness review and
lost. Then they recommended nonwilderness,
but changed their recommendation thanks
to your comments. Local government proposes dewatering Parunuweap - a classic
"wet narrows" hike - with a dam. At this
time the BLM recommends wilderness for
much of the area, but excludes the forestcovered top of the White Cliffs and scenic
Elephant Cove, and Harris Mountain.
streams offer excellent hikes with a spectacular white sandstone backdrop. The Coalition's 25,750-acre proposal includes unimpacted lands the BLM dropped from wilderness study. The Allen-Warner Valley Energy
Project, now dead, proposed a coal slurry
pipeline across this area.
The Watchman
Zion is the fIfth most visited National Park
in the country. The fIrst impression most
visitors have of the park is The Watchman,
the huge buttress just above Springdale that
is partly on BLM land. The BLM recommends wilderness for a portion of the cliff;
the Coalition includes the natural lands
down to the river. Another "Watt drop~ that
is being studied only because of conservationists' legal vigilance.
Canyonlands Region
slickrock maze
The Green, Colorado and Dolores Rivers
all meet in Utah's Canyonlands. Abutting
these rivers are numerous BLM side canyons with wilderness equal to those found in
Canyonlands and Arches National Parks.
Beaver Creek
East of Moab, the Dolores River crosses
the Colorado state line passing Beaver Creek.
A l3-mile crystal-clear stream flows down
the thousand foot deep canyon. This area
includes the wild and scenic river proposal
for the Dolores River in Utah including
numerous side canyons down to Ridge
Canyon. The BLM dropped this area from
wilderness inventory, claiming that impacts
high on the edges of the road less area
impacted the core. The Coalition proposal
excludes those impacts, protecting a major
portion of the Dolores River in Utah.
Taylor Creek Canyon
This logical extension of the park's
northern wilderness flows into the Kolob
Canyon area. The BLM proposes wilderness
- but only after conservationists appealed
yet another ~Watt drop.~
North of Kanab, Utah, the White Cliffs
wrap around the headwaters of Kanab
Creek. Several deep canyons with clear
Behind the Rocks

Just west of Moab, an 1,800-foot cliff
announces the edge of the multifluted petrifIed sand dunes in Behind the Rocks. The
BLM supports wilderness designation for
much of the area, excluding the northern tip
near the Colorado River Portal and the
western third including Hunter Canyon.

Recognizing the significance of Pritchett
Canyon to ORV users and mountain bicycles, the Coalition has excluded this canyon from its proposal. Rather than consider
land exchange, the BLM excluded the Hunter Canyon portion of this area from wilderness study because of the presence of state
lands.
Black Ridge
Stretching from Westwater to Colorado
National Monument along the Colorado
River, Black Ridge is recommended for
wilderness designation by the Colorado
BLM. This area is not discussed in the Utah
BLM wilderness DEIS.
Butler Wash
Again, praise for public comments: the
BLM added several hundred acres to this
wilderness study area to enlarge the agency's
wilderness recommendation. Located on the
south side of Canyonlands National Park,
this wilderness proposal matches the quality
of the adjoining park.
Fisher Towers
One of the best known geologic formations in southern Utah, the Fisher Towers is
well-known for rock climbing. Unknown to
many is the pristine 5·rnile Waring Canyon
which begins just behind the Towers and
drains into the Dolores River. This area,
located south of the Dewey Bridge on the
Colorado River, was dropped from study by
the BLM with the claim that ~the natural
character of the unit has been compromised."
The Coalition proposal excludes the peripheral impacts and includes the imposing
towers, cliffs, and Waring Canyon with its
stream.
These impacts were used by the BLM as
reasons to drop a larger natural area from
wilderness study.
Goose Neck, North and South
Many float trips down the Colorado
begin near Pyramid Butte. The first 13 miles
wind through the Gooseneck road less area.
This 600-foot-deep canyon is a logical extension of Canyonlands National Park. River
users question the BLM's assertion that
~Iandforms in the unit consist of open flats"
and lack wilderness solitude and recreation.
The BLM dropped this area from wilderness study.
Granite Creek
North and east of the Dolores River
crossing the Colorado state line, Granite
Creek offers impressive hikes along lush
green-lined streams. The BLM dropped this
area from wilderness study, arguing that
wildlife habitat does not offer significant
wilderness values. Again the BLM claimed
the hundred-foot-deep canyon lacked adequate topographic screening for solitude.
Hatch Wash
East of Canyonlands National Park and
west of the LaSal Junction on U.S. 163,
Hatch Wash carries the major sources for
Kane Springs Creek. Impressive 500-foot
cliffs like those of Canyonlands line the wash
as side canyons join this natural area. By
drawing a boundary including the natural
canyons and excluding the impacted mesa
tops, the Coalition developed a sizable
wilderness proposal. The BLM used these
boundary impacts to conclude the canyon
was impacted and not deserving of wilderness study.
Goldbar Canyon
Hart Point
The north side of the Colorado River
Portal west of Moab, Utah, has several
excellent short day hikes. Two examples
include a trail beginning at the portal itself,
ascending the cliff beside the Colorado. A
second hike begins near Bootleg Canyon
and leads to Little Rainbow Ridge. The
Coalition boundary excludes any wilderness
impacts from the potash rail line and roads.
Newspaper Rock abuts the Hart Point
cliff face which runs for nearly 20 miles.
Originally proposed as part of Canyonlands
National Park, Hart Point and Draw are
logical components of this park. Views from
the point catch Six Shooter Peaks and
DaVIS Canyon. For a sampler hike, explore
Bobby's Hole behind Wind Whistle Rock,
six miles west of U.S. 163. The BLM
Indian Creek
Abutting Canyonlands just west and north
of the Needles District in the Park, Indian
Creek has some of the area's most remarkable Indian ruins. The numerous canyons
are the east bank of the Colorado River's
equivalent of the Maze. The BLM moved
the boundary, excluding two-thirds of the
qualifying natural area from its wilderness
proposal. Most of Indian Creek was excluded. A rarely visited area, excellent hikes
start where the Hurrah Pass road crosses
Indian Creek.
Labyrinth Canyon
After leaving the Book Cliffs, the Green
River flows south, entering Labryinth Canyon and eventually Canyonlands National
Park - one of the few rivers on which you
can canoe for several days in deep slickrock
canyons without rapids. The BLM dropped
most of Labyrinth Canyon from wilderness
study leaving only Horseshoe Canyon in its
recommendation. River travellers cannot
understand how the west bank is wilderness
while the BLM claims the equally natural
east bank ~clearly and obviously lacks
wilderness characteristics."
Lost Spring Canyon
Behind Arches National Park are some
wonderful canyons rarely visited. The
National Park Service has openly campaigned to have these canyons protected and perhaps added to the park. Secretary
Watt dropped this area, but our lawsuit
forced the BLM to reinstate the study area.
Now the BLM recommends wilderness for
about one-fourth of the deserving area.
Mill Creek
Mill Creek flows through the center of
Moab after leaving a BLM wilderness study
area. This is one of Utah's finest canyons,
with petroglyphs, swimming pools, numerous drops, and trees covering the perennial
stream. BLM dropped this area in the
inventory and we got it reinstated though
administrative appeals. Now the BLM says
this area is unsuitable. (This is an area for
which Grand County opposed wilderness
designation using a county bulldozer to
plow a lOO-yard track near the area boundary. The BLM capitulated to this political
threat and recommends nonwilderness.)
Negro Bill Canyon
A bout 2.5 miles east of Moab along Utah
128, Negro Bill Canyon Creek flows out of
its deep canyon to meet the Colorado River.
Grand County staged a second demonstration against wilderness here, reconstructing a road up the canyon. Under conservationists' pressure, the BLM sued the county
for trespass. The suit was settled when the
county agreed to stop bulldozing the canyon
while the BLM agreed to drop the area from
wilderness recommendation. Our administrative a ppeal of that decision was the first
in the country to restore wilderness to the
study process. Today the BLM continues
recommending nonwilderness.
Six Shooter Peak
Two impressive canyons, separated by
Bridger Jack Mesa (a relict plant community), Little Bridger Jack and Six Shooter
Peaks abut the Needles District in Canyonlands National Park. Only the top of Bridger
Jack Mesa (a sixth of the area) is being
recommended for wilderness. To assist the
Department of Energy in siting high-level
nuclear wastes next to Canyonlands. the
BLM dropped Davis and Lavender Canyons
from the wilderness review. The BLM incorrectly claimed that these areas lack
wilderness-grade solitude and recreation.
The northeastern corner of Canyonlands
National Park and Dead Horse State Park
are sep?rated by the BLM roadless area
called Shaffer Canyon. Totally ignoring the
magnificent view this canyon gives park
visitors, the BLM astonishingly found, ~the
irregular configuration of the unit which
wraps about the state park would severely
limit opportunities for solitude." This area is
a clear choice as an addition to the national
park.
Westwater Canyon
The Colorado River first travels through
Utah in this ca:nyon, strongly favored by
river runners. The BLM supports wilderness
designation for a majority of the area. The
BLM recommends nonwilderness on the
southern area in order to encourage off-road
vehicle use.
Cedar Mesa,
Land of the Anasazi
The most important evidence of walled
Utah's ancient peoples lies in the Cedar
Mesa region - an unmatched reference
collection for understanding early Americans. Unless key parts of Cedar Mesa are
designated wilderness, new roads will expand
vehicle access - and expand the range of
the "pothunters" that destroy priceless
archaeological sites.
Arch Canyon
West of Comb Ridge, just north of Utah
95, Arch Canyon contains cottonwoodlined creeks that tumble from the Abajo
Mountains to the north. Despite a 63-1
record of public comment in favor of wilder-
ness study, the BLM dropped the area claiming that State-owned land somehow
"divided" this natural area. (In similar areas
where the BLM supported wilderness, State
land was not a problem.)
Comb Ridge
One of the most memorable views in
driving Utah 95 is crossing Comb Ridge, a
dramatic, uplifted reef 15 miles long and
over 1,000 feet high. The BLM dropped this
area in the initial inventory, concluding that
the area "clearly and obviously lacked
. wilderness character." Citing a few impacts
on the edge of the area, the BLM claimed
the area was ~heavily impacted by human
activities."
Cheesebox and Deer Canyons
These serpentine canyons flow into White
Canyon, which parallels Utah 95 north of
Natural Bridges National Monument. The
BLM opposes wilderness for Cheese box
and is not even studying the roadless areas
surrounding the Monument - Harmony
Flat and Deer Canyon. Their claim of
significant human impacts is exaggerated,
given the very real wilderness values of the
area.
Cross Canyon
About four miles north of Cutthroat
Castle in Hovenweep National Monument,
Cross Canyon lies mostly in Colorado and is
being studied by the BLM in that state.
Utah's portion contains badland formations
next to a pinyon-juniper forest.
Dark Canyon
Only half of the BLM land in this popular
backpacking area is proposed for wilderness. A BLM wilderness recommendation is
needed to complement designated National
Forest wilderness in the upper canyon and
recommended Park Service wilderness in
contin ued to page 8

Red Desert
Arches
Abutting Capitol Reef for several miles
on its northeast border is the UWCs 28,800acre Red DeseI1 proposal. This area includes
an unusual and colorful basin of deep pink
badlands and fluted mud columns. Protection of this area would enhance the scenic
and recreational experience of visitors to
Capitol Reefs North District, as the park
access road forms the Red Desert boundary
for several miles.
Abutting Arches' northeast boundary,
Lost Spring Canyon offers diverse hiking
opportunities in conjunction with Arches
National Park. The unit includes the upper
reaches of Arches' Salt Wash and the entire
Lost Spring Canyon system. The area is
characterized by deeply eroded side canyons
and colorful rock formations, including fins,
domes and several arches.
Canyonlands
Natural Bridges
Canyonlands National Park lies within a
large, cliff-edged basin of highly eroded
slickrock formations - canyons, buttes,
spires and needles. The original proposed
park boundary would have included this
entire basin - rim-to-rim - from the
Orange Cliffs on the east to the Hatch Point
Cliffs on the west. This proposal was whittled
down until only a heart-shaped portion of
the Canyonlands basin was established as a
national park. The UWCs wilderness proposals adjacent to Canyonlands would help
provide needed protection to deserving lands
excluded from park protection.
Six-Shooter Peaks
The UWCs Six-Shooter Peaks 32,640acre proposal would protect the lower ends
of Lavender and Davis Canyons (the upper
ends are in Canyonlands National Park) as
well as Bridger Jack Mesa. Scenically and
geographically, this area is an inseparable
part of Canyonlands National Park. Protection of this area has become particularly
critical because of the U.S. Department of
Energy's consideration of Davis and Lavender Canyons for high-level nuclear waste
disposal.
Indian Creek
Fourteen miles of Indian Creek Canyon
- a narrow, twisting canyon draining into
Canyonlands National Park and the Colorado River - would be protected in UWCs
26,920-acre Indian Creek proposal. Indian
creek is a major feature in the Canyonlands
basin west of the park. When viewed from
BLM's Needles Overlook, it is frequently
perceived as part of Canyonlands National
Park.
The Canyon offers an unforgettable hiking
experience because of unusual rock formations and rich color combinations in the
rock. Wilderness designation would also
enhance protection of the many Indian rock
art sites amateur archeologists have documented.
Shaffer Canyon and
the Goosenecks
Just north of Indian Creek are these two
units the BLM dropped during its inventory
process.
The UWC's 2,800-acre Schaffer Canyon
proposal lies directly below Deadhorse Point
and would protect the Point's scenic breaks
as wilderness.
The Colorado River winds back and
forth through the U WC's 1O,200-acre
Goosenecks proposal. Boaters in Canyonland's Cataract Canyon float through this
stretch of river on their way into the park.
Butler Wash
Abutting the park on the south, UWCs
25,780-acre Butler Wash proposal includes
the upper end of Salt Creek, a major canyon
and hiking corridor in Canyonland's Needles
District. Hikers seeking remoteness and
solitude in the Needles frequently make the
Butler Wash area their destination. The
BLM recommends 24,190 acres of wilderness for Butler Wash.
Lost Spring Canyon
Natural Bridges National Monument is
literally surrounded by UWCs wilderness
proposals - and for good reason. This
small monument was set aside primarily to
protect 3 natural rock bridges, but it is
surrounded by outstanding wilderness lands.
These wildlands are part of what the
UWC calls the "White Canyon Complex"
- a series of canyons dissecting the Cedar
Mesa plateau and draining into the White
River. With its maze of deeply incised
canyons and pinyon-juniper covered benchlands, the White Canyon Complex includes
tens of miles of outstanding hiking and
backpacking opportunities. Designation of
the White Canyon Complex would make
Natural Bridges National Monument the
heart of one of the most impressive wilderness complexes in southern Utah.
Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area
Geographically, the Glen Canyon NRA
forms the heart of the UWCs 5-million-acre
wilderness proposal. The NRA itself is not
included in the proposal because it is under
national Park Service jurisdiction. UWC
wilderness areas abut virtually the entire
perimeter of the NRA, one of the nation's
largest. Thirteen UWC wilderness proposals
adjoin NPS-recommended wilderness within
the NRA.
Although Glen Canyon NRA was established primarily to administer the recreational values of Lake Powell, it includes
- and abuts - some of the most remote,
pristine and impressive wilderness in the
state.
The NRA contains, for example, the
lower stretches of the Escalante River Canyons, and abuts the UWCs North Escalante
Canyons wilderness proposal. The UWCs
Lillie Egypt, Scorpion, Dance Hall Rock
and Sooner Bench proposals all would
protect the upper ends of canyons draining
into the NRA's portion of the Escalante
Canyon.
The Coalition's French Spring/ Happy
Canyon-Dirt)' Devil and Fiddler Butte proposals meet the western boundary of, and
are natural extensions of, the wild and
remote Orange Cliffs section of Glen Canyon NRA.
The San Juan Arm of Glen Canyon
NRA forms the southern boundary for
UWCs Nokai Dome, Castle Creek, Mike's
Canyon, and Grand Gulch/ Johns/ Slickrock
Canyon wilderness proposals. These areas
would protect the deeply incised narrow
canyons draining Cedar Mesa's pinyonjuniper covered plateau lands which flow
into the San Juan River. Protection of these
areas in conjunction with the San Juan
River would form an outstanding river and
canyon wilderness.

BlM Hearings
continued from cover
impact statement. But the agency is not
going out of its way to make it easy for
conservationists to register their comments
either through the hearing schedule or
the hearing procedure, said Darrell Knuffke,
Central Rockies Regional Director for The
Wilderness Society.
Signing up to testify is easy enough: the
bureau will have sign-up cards available at
each hearing location starting one hour
before the hearing. Individuals who want to
testify need only fill out a card. Jim Catlin.
Utah Chapter Sierra Club, said the latest
information from the BLM indicates that
people will be permitted to speak in the
following order: elected officials will go
first. followed by governmental representatives, organizations and companies. The
_ _ __
_ __
_ _ __
_ _ _ __
general public comes last. Catlin said that
the bureau has told him the individual signup cards will be shuffled after they are
collected and individuals called in the resulting order. There will be no first-come, firstserved order.
Catlin has asked the agency to at least
announce the final order of witnesses so
people will know when their turn is likely to
come. So far, though, the BLM has made
no such commitment. All speakers will be
under the same time limit, probably from
three to five minutes - not long, but long
enough to enter persuasive comments into
the hearing record.
It is impossible to detail in three or five
minutes all the areas you support for

area is BLM land, but they would slice off its
edges with exaggerated claims of impacts in
Beef Basin, Youngs Canyon, and Fable

Fish Creek
Located south of Utah 95, west of Comb
Ridge and southeast of Natural Bridges

are popular backpacking areas. BLM supports wilderness designation for the canyon
bottoms and mesas on the west but not on
the east. The BLM plans expensive bulldozing of the forest and reseeding for cattle
- money better spent on less sensitive areas,
One of the most important canyons missing
from wilderness study is lower Mule Canyon

Grand Gulch
One of the biggest - and most popular
- road less areas in Utah, Grand Gulch
meanders 53 miles over a straight-line distance of 21 miles, BLM divided this single
road less area into many smaller parts, just as
they did with Dark Canyon. Unlike Dark
Canyon, they only dropped one: Steer
Gulch. The rest were joined as they should
have been with the Grand Gulch Primitive
Area, Numerous natural arches, rincons,
and pinnacles line the Gulch and its side
canyons: Bullet, Kane, Polly's, Collins, Step,
and Pine.
Gravel & Long Canyons
The most prominent sandstone tower
between Hite and Natural Bridges along
Utah 95 is Jacobs Chair, sadly scarred by
uranium exploration. Alongside this tower
are two magnificent unimpacted canyons:
Gravel on the east and Long on the west,
both flowing into White Canyon. The BLM
used mining impacts - which totaled a
mere 1,800 acres - as reason to delete the
remaining 37,200-acre road less area. The
Coalition's proposal simply excludes the
impacted area.

Harmony Flats
The south side of Natural Bridges
National Monument is bordered by Harmony Flats, The name is a misnomer, since
a deep canyon and several tributaries fill the
area. The BLM dropped this area in the
initial wilderness review, leaving the door
open for yet another proposed roadside
tourist attraction.
Mancos Mesa
Scene of one of the ftrst confrontations
with the BLM over protection of wilderness
study areas, Mancos Mesa has a stormy
history, Just after Congress passed legislation
requiring a BLM wilderness review, Gulf
Minerals punched in almost 30 miles of new
roads for uranium exploration in the middle
of Mancos Mesa. The BLM granted access
under the condition that the roads be
reclaimed. Now the BLM has relented,
recommending nonwilderness for the impacted area. Our proposal differs from the
BLM's by including all of Moqui Canyon
on the southern part of the area, The BLM
ignored the pristine perennial stream and
canyon,
Mule Canyon
Just north of Utah 95, a few miles from
the turnoff to Natural Bridges, is Mule
Canyon Ruins - a reconstructed Anasazi
village that borders the Mule Canyon
Wilderness Study Area, BLM recommends
wilderness for this area, which offers excellent day hikes through "Class A scenery
characterized by smooth red sandstone and
contrasting ponderosa pine and Douglas
ftr."
Nokai Dome
This huge area lies south of Utah 263 to
Halls Crossing, north of the Sanjuan River,
and west of the river takeout at Clay Hills.
The historic Mormon Trail crosses the
western portion. Numerous canyons drain
into the San Juan River. The BLM cut the
80,OOO-acre area into ftve pieces, citing impacts, and then dropped them all. The
impacts occupy less than a square mile in a
road less area three times larger than Salt
Lake City,
Road Canyon
Road Canyon is north of Mexican Hat,
Utah, east of Grand Gulch, and south of
Fish & Owl Canyons. In 1984, the BLM
proposed half the area for wilderness. Now
the BLM has enlarged its proposal, adding
the cliffs that face the Valley of the Gods on
the southern part of the area. The Coalition
proposal includes the rugged canyons that
reach Comb Wash in the east, outside the
BLM study area. Lime Creek and Road
Canyon are favored hiking areas,
Sheep Canyon
Abutting a National Park Service wilderness proposal in Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area, Sheep Canyon represents
a logical extension of the NRA wilderness
proposaL The area is west of Dark Canyon;
Sheep Canyon reaches the Colorado River
at Mille Crag Bend. The BLM said that the
few impacts near the edge of the road less
area affected "the entire unit" and "caused a
significant loss of natural character.~ The
facts argue otherwise; the Coalition's 4,500
acre proposal simply excludes those few
impacts.
Squaw & Papoose Canyons
The Colorado BLM is taking the lead in
studying this area east of Blanding and north
of Hovenweep National Monument. This
area abuts Cross Canyon Wilderness Study
Area just to the south.

Conservationists' Alternative for the Logan Canyon Road
between Right Fork and Garden City
(submitted to UDOT February ~ 1989)
This alternative is designed to solve specific problems with
minimal environmental impact. This is in contrast to the Agency
Alternative, where the main goal is to increase the highway
design speed on all except the 4 miles between Right Fork and
Lower Twin Bridge. To make a point-by-point comparison of this
alternative with the Agency Alternative~ you may obtain a copy of
the Agency Alternative from:
Lynn Zollinger
Utah Department of Transportation
PO Box 2747
Ogden~ Utah 84404
399-5921
Beginning at Right Fork (mp383.5), approx. 10 miles E of Logan:
Add additional warning sign such as "Narrow Winding Road Next 7
Miles". Throughout the entire route put up specific curve
signs with advisory speeds where needed.
Add signs for side roads such as "Right Fork 1/4 mile". Similar
signs will be needed at Wood Camp~ Temple Fork, etc.
Construct a 100'paved taper for up-canyon traffic wishing to turn
into Right Fork.
Wood Camp (mp 384.5)
Plow parking area in the winter.
Burnt Bridge (mp 385.5)
PavE; present turnout downcanyon from bridge, add "Turnout"
signs.
Replace Burnt Bridge on present alignment with 28' wide clearspan bridge.
.
Logan Cave (mp 386.2)
Raise roadbed approx. 3' for 1000'; this removes an erratic bend
from the road and allows the road to be moved away from the
river. Contingent on availability of fill.
Prohibit parking on curve.
CONSERV ATIONISTS' ALTERNATIVE
�Cottonwood Creek (mp386.4)
For cave access, pave two parking areas immediately downcanyon
from Cottonwood Creek: one 150' x 20' on the river side,
another 100' x 35'(tapering to 20') at the location of old
Cottonwood Creek road. Plow in winter.
Forest Service and volunteer groups construct trail to cave
entrance.
Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure.
(mp386.6)
Raise roadbed approx. 18" for 500' to avoid flooding (contingent
on availability of fill).
Lower Twin Bridge (mp 387.8)
Replace bridge with a 28' wide clear-span bridge immediately
upstream from present bridge. This involves a new cut at the
downcanyon edge of the bridge. Rubble could be used to
provide a slow-vehicle turnout downcanyon of the bridge.
Provide recreational parking at upcanyon edge of the bridge.
Note: Here the Agency Alternative proposes a 3 lane bridge, a
climbing lane nearly a mile long, and the beginning of the
wider, straighter, higher design speed highway.
Upper Twin Bridge (mp388.8)
Replace bridge with a 28' wide clear-span bridge immediately
downstream of present bridge.
Ricks Spring
Sign "NO PASSING".
For downcanyon traffic, sign "Narrow Winding Road Next 7 Miles"
Replace structure on present alignment with - 28' wide structure.
mo 390.2 and 391.1
Raise roadbed approx. 18" to avoid flooding. Contingent on
availability of fill.
CONSERV A TIONISTS' AL TERNA 'fIVE
�mp 392
Pave multipurpose turnout on side opposite river, plow in winter.
Note: Here the Agency Alternative increases the road width even
more, increases the design speed, and begins to add frequent
passing lanes.
Tony Grove Intersection (mp 393.7)
Add turning lanes.
Tony Grove Creek (mp 393.8)
Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure.
Bunchgrass (mp 394.2)
Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure.
Pave multipurpose turnout on river side of road; plow in winter.
Red Banks Bridge (mp 394.5)
Replace bridge on present alignment with 28' wide clear-span
bridge.
Above Red Banks Campground
Construct climbing lane from milepost 395 to cattleguard.
Beaver Creek Bridge (mo396.0)
Replace bridge on present alignment with 28' wide clear-span
bridge.
Beaver Creek Structure (mp397.5)
Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure.
Amazon Hollow Structure (mp 399.6)
Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure.
Beaver Mountain Intersection (mp 399.75)
Add turning lanes.
CONSER V A TIONISTS' AL TERNA TIVE
�Amazon Hollow Area
Construct climbing lane from milepost 401.5 (above Amazon Hollow
fill) to mp 402.1.
Middle Sink
Construct climbing lane from 404.1 to short of Sinks Road.
Summit to Garden City
Retain present alignment; add improved signing for curves and
turnouts. Place climbing lane sections or slow-vehicle
turnouts only where cutting would not cause erosion
problems.
Note: Here the Agency Alternative emphasized speed by realigning
curves and steepening the gradient to up to 10%. They also
plan . a continuous climbing lane. Initially we took no
position on modifications to this section because much of it
is not on National Forest land. However, the potential for
massive erosion problems from the miles of excavation
proposed in the Agency Alternative forced us to take this
new position.

LOGAN CANYON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
Minutes of ID Team Meeting
February 17, 1987
ATTENDANCE:
Lynn Zollinger, UDOT
Todd Weston, UDOT Commissioner
Jack Spence, Sierra Club
Steve Flint, Utah Audobon Society
Duncan Silver, FHWA
Fred LaBar, USFS
Gale Larson, Valley Engineering
Brian Dixon, BP~G
Stan Nuffer, CH2M HILL
Cliff Forsgren, CH2M HILL
ITEM 1 - REVIEW OF MINUTES
During the review of the minutes of the previous meeting,
Stan Nuffer reported that the State of Wyoming is using a
growth rate of 3.7 percent per year west of Sage Junction.
Jack Spence reported that there had been some statistical
tests run on the past trends method of forecasting future
traffic volumes and that, from a past trends perspective, it
may be better to project a linear growth 2ate than an exponential. Jack's reasoning was that the r value was higher
using a linear model. , Duncan Silver suggested that it might
be better to present a range of future traffic volumes with
a corresponding range of consequences.
Steve Flint asked for the r2 values for the past trends , calculations for the other counting stations observed during
the study (north of Garden City for example). It was decided that a summary of all assumptions made to forecast
further traffic and to estimate the traffic volume capacity
at each level of service would be prepared. This information
would allow the ID Team to see how sensitive the LOS determination is to the various factors which could have an
influence.
During the discussion of the basic alternative categories
that were presented at the January 27 meeting, Jack Spence
and Steve Flint both objected to including an alternative
with a 40 mph design speed, that would widen and change the
alignment in the middle Canyon section.
Jack and Steve both
felt that a 40 mph alternative had been examined and declared
unacceptable by the Forest Service and that there was no
point in considering it. Duncan Silver pointed out that the
study team cannot assume to ignore established standards
without some study. Duncan agreed that if the Forest Service
has some specific information that would help the team to
determine a 40 mph road is not feasible in the middle Canyon,
then further study might not be necessary.
�MEETING NOTES
Page 2
ITEM 2 - OUTLINE OF PUBLIC PRESENTATION FOR SCOPING MEETINGS
During the discussion of the presentation the question of
advisory speeds versus design speeds arose. Jack Spence
wanted to know what the difference was.
Stan Nuffer explained that even though a road might have an overall design
speed of 40 mph, individual curves could have design speeds
of less than 40 mph.
In cases where the design speed at a
particular location is less than the overall roadway design
speed an advisory speed sign is posted. Advising speed
signs are black on yellow and are posted with a curve
warning sign.
Duncan asked for a list of the "spot" improvements.
Stan
indicated that there had only been a general list prepared
and that they would be defined after the scoping meetings
(a general list was reviewed in the draft fact sheet).
ITEM 3 - REVIEW OF NOTICE OF INTENT, LEGAL NOTICE, LETTER TO
AGENCIES, AND FACT SHEET
During the review of the fact sheet, Duncan Silver advised
the team that not studying an alternative that included
current highway standards would significantly delay the
approvals 9f any study. Duncan did say that it might be
appropriate to state that current standards were given
consideration and not examined in detail for the following
reasons:
(the reasons are then listed). Duncan also
suggested that a technical memo on use of a modified
standard be developed.
Jack Spence pointed out that in the upper Canyon section
there were some areas where the road is near the Beaver
Creek and widening will be very difficult.
Todd Weston asked if there was any information on how much
traffic an improved roadway would attract.
Stan Nuffer
responded that general information was available but each
project has its own unique characteristics.

LOGAN CANYON
MINUTES OF ID TEAM MEETING
August 11, 1986
Attendance:
Gale Larson, Valley Engineering
Jack Spence, Cache Group Sierra Club
Steve Flint, Bridgerland Audobon Society
Rudy Lukez, Cache Group Sierra Club
Duncan Silver, FHWA

Item 1 - Review of Minutes
A new name was added to the mailing list:
Randy Nielsen, Utah Wildlife Federation
160 Layton Drive
Salt Lake City, Utah 84115
(draft copy of the study only)
Item i-Review of Draft Traffic Tech Memo
The draft of the traffic forecast technical memorandum was
discussed.
Those committee members who had received the
memo had not had sufficient time to thoroughly review the
information it contained so the discussion was fairly
general.
Jack Spence thought that all of the data points needed to be
plotted and that the standard deviation and correlation coefficient should be shown also. Duncan Silver asked about
the design hour volume (DHV) and the directional split of
the traffic.
If the DHV and directional split are to be addressed in the capacity/level of service analysis, it should
be stated in this technical memorandum so that readers would
know where to find that information. Duncan also suggested
plotting the 100 highest hour volumes to see if 30th highest
hour (which is presently being used by UDOT), is the best
one to use as the basis for the DHV. Written comments on
the draft memorandum were requested by the next meeting.
1
�(
Todd Weston asked if it would be possible to get the information out sooner so that team members had a chance to
review it.
Item 3 - Review of Manual Traffic Counts
Gale Larson reported on the manual traffic counts taken on
July 19 and August 2. Summaries of the counts were given to
team members for their review.
Item 4 - Review of Maintenance Information
(
Cliff Forsgren presented a summary of the evaluation of the
maintenance in the Canyon. The largest maintenance related
problem in the Canyon is snow removal. Portions of the Canyon are narrow with steep walls and the river is adjacent to
the road. The roadway in those areas has no shoulder and
there is nowhere to store or place the snow. Present practice is to plow all of the snow to one side of the road and
into the river. This procedure requires plows to move snow
across the traffic lanes. There was some discussion about
the desirability of this practice. Duncan Silver said that
there should be two criteria used in evaluating these procedures; 1) how is the public served and 2) how safe is the
procedure. Howard Richardson told a bit about the procedures and about the District's "bare road" snow removal
policy. Jack Spence asked how many times per year snowplows
would be moving snow across traffic lanes. The number will
vary depending upon the number of snow storms. Sometimes a
snow blower will be used to keep the road clear also. Snow
plow operators consider the present practice unsafe. Howard
Richardson invited any team members who would be interested
in a first hand evaluation to come and ride on one of the
plows this winter. Jack Spence asked how many accidents
have been caused by this procedure? It was not known if
there had been any. The options for alleviating the snow
removal problems would be to construct wider shoulders.
Flooding of the road was also discussed. Finding and disposing of suitable berm material is the biggest problem associated with protecting the road during high runoff. Fred
LaBar said that anchor ice above Ricks Springs had been responsible for flooding a number of years ago and that anchor
ice is a continuing problem in the river. Todd Weston asked
if plowing snow into the river could contribute to the buildup of anchor ice. Fred did not know for sure but thought
that it might.
S
Item % - Review of Accident Data
John Neil reported that the Safety Section had not released
the accident analysis runs yet. Jack Spence indicated that
the accident data needed to be analyzed for as many years as
2
�possible if
Silver said
that number
severity of
it was to be a meaningful evaluation. Duncan
that a goal should be statistical reliance and
of accidents was not as important as the
accidents.

LOGAN CANYON
Minutes of ID Team Meeting
July 28, 1986
Attendance:
Clark Ostergaard - USFS
Fred LaBar - USFS
Todd Weston - UDOT
Stan Nuffer - CH2M HILL
John D'Amico - CH2M HILL
Cliff Forsgren - CH2M HILL
Bill Helm - Unattached
Rudy Lukez - Sierra Club
Howard Richardson - UDOT
John Neil - UDOT
ITEM 1 - REVIEW OF MINUTES
The minutes were reviewed.
There was some confusion about
the sources of additional names for the mailing list which
were listed in the minutes.
It was noted that Fred LaBar
and Bill Helm had mailed names and not turned them in at the
last meeting.
There was no other discussion on the minutes.
ITEM 2 - TFAFFIC COUNT DATA
The sources of traffic data were discussed.
Permanent
stations on US 89-91 at Webster Junction, on US 89 at Card
Guard Station in Logan Canyon (later moved to Garden City),
and on US 89 north of Garden City are being used in the
preparation of the traffic forecast.
ITEM 3 - PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED TPAFFIC FORECAST
A past trends based forecast had been prepared using a least
squares best fit linear function.
This approach produced an
annual increase in ADT which was less than one percent, a
rate which was felt to be low. The Utah State, Office of
Planning and Budget was prepared its forecast of economic
and population growth through the year 2010.
The overall
rate of population increase for northern Utah was approximately 2 percent.
If traffic in Logan Canyon were to increase at the same rate as the population, the summer ADT in
Logan Canyon would reach approximately 6,000 vehicles per
day in 2,010. Supporting data for this forecast is available
and will be presented at the next ID Team (Team) meeting.
There was also some Qlscussion on the traffic classification
counts.
The summer counts will begin on July 29, 1987. The
counts will include a classification for recreational vehicles
and record turning movements.
�ITEM 4 - DISCUSSION OF HIGHWAY CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE
DETERMINATION
The roadway will be evaluated on the basis of the level of
service which is possible at a given traffic volume.
The
Transportation Research Board describes a procedure for establishing levels of service (A through E) for rural roads.
Copies of portions of the procedure description were distributed to team members to help them become familiar with
the level of service concept. There was some discussion on
which level of service would be planned for in the Canyon.
UDOT would like to plan for a "C" level, but the actual level
of service used will be determined by the Team.
ITEM 5 - REVIEW OF ACCIDENT DATA
The accident data for 6 years (1980 - 1985) has been
tabulated using a UDOT computer program.
The UDOT program
was used because the program performs the types of analysis
required for roadways and the accident data base was already
on the UDOT computer. The computer runs had only recently
been completed and there had not been sufficient time to
review the results.
Hopefully this will be completed by the
next meeting.
ITEM 6 - UPDATE ON STATUS OF BASE MAP PREPARATION
(
An example of the base maps was shown to the
of the set will be available, when they have
to Team members who wish to have one.
Clark
requested a set to get started on the visual
Team. Copies
been completed,
Ostergaard
survey.
MISCELLANEOUS
The approved forest plan has a section on Logan Canyon which
may be of · interest to Team members.
Clark Ostergaard will
bring a number of copies of that section to the next meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ID TEAM MEMBERS
DATE:
March 30,1987
FROM: Cliff Forsgren
SUBJECT: Logan Canyon Traffic Forecasts
Over the past several months there have been a number of
iterations made in attempting to establish a reasonable
forecast of traffic through the year 2010.
Exponential and
linear models and population trends have been used.
with varying results.
Each
Until now all estimates of future
traffic flow have been developed using fairly recent data ,
, (1973 to 1985).
Attempts to use past trends as a basis for
predicting future traffic volume's have not been completely
satisfactory.
The wide scatter in the data has resulted
numbers that are difficult to Justify from a statistical
standpoint.
Estimating future traffic volumes based upon
proJected population trends is often considered to be a more
acceptable
method~
after a relationship between population
increase and traffic flow has been established.
The State Office of Planning and Budget has provided us
with the most recent (still unofficial) population forecasts
for Northern Utah (attachment 1).
They have also provided
population data, by county, from 1940 through 1985
<attachment 2).
Using this data we have tabulated the
�population trend for northern Utah <attachment 3).
John Neil
has also gone through the UOOT archives and obtained annual
traffic data in Logan Canyon from 1937 through 1985
<attachment 4).
Prior to 1973 when the permanent counter was
installed at Card Guard Station r
apparently based upon 7
day~
traffic volumes were
24 hour counts taken quarterly.
The annual ADT in the Middle Canyon (assumed at Card Guard
Station) has been tabulated and a linear plot fit to the
points <attachment 5).
Using the long term population trend and the long term
traffic trend a relationship was established between the two
<attachment 6) and future traffic volumes estimated in each
section o£ the Canyon
(attachment 7).
Past IO team discussions have indicated that it might be
preferable to show a spread in the proJected traffic volume
rather than trying to settle on a single number.
We should
compare this information with the forecasts prepared using
the more recent data to determine which will give us the more
reliable range o£ proJected tra££ic volumes.

ITEM l--REVIEW OF MINUTES
The minutes of the May 18 meeting were not reviewed.
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The first item of business discussed was a memorandum to the
ID Team from "Conservation Representatives" appearing under
the letterhead of the Citizens for the Protection of Logan
Canyon. The memorandum was requested to be entered into the
minutes of the meeting and was discussed at length as follo~vs :
1.
Issues Identification--The main concern was that a list
of issues, concerns, or alternatives developed from the
scoping process has not yet been presented to the ID
Team.
Response--Summaries of the two scoping meetings and a
partial summary of the written comments have been distributed previously. A tabular summary of the scoping
meetings and written responses was distributed during
the meeting; it will be used to provide a technical
memorandum summarizing the scoping process.
2.
Chapter 8, Alternatives--The main concern was that the
various alternatives presented in Chapter 8 are not
properly analyzed with regard to possible impacts and
mitigations as presented in other technical memoranda
and reports.
2
�Response--Chapter 8 as submitted was 'a description of
the alternatives, and was not intended to be the complete presentation of impacts and mitigation. Any
environmental conclusions included in the chapter were
very general and it was agreed in the later detailed
discussion of Chapter 8 to delete the summary sections,
and let Chapter 8 stand as a description of the alternatives only.
3.
Organization of Material From CH2M HILL--The main concern was how the technical memorandums and reports are
to be used in an EIS.
Response--From the beginning of the study, the T.M.s
have been used as a means to organize and document the
data and findings in a logical manner. The organization of the T.M.s has generally followed the outline
presented at the December 22, 1986, ID meeting, and are
to be used as resources for preparation of the DEIS.
Since the T.M.s as a whole are much more voluminous
than can be accommodated in a DEIS, the information is
to be summarized, rearranged, and edited into the DEIS.
A preliminary outline of the DEIS was shown on the
blackboard by Larry Martin. The essential elements of
that outline will be included in the format for the
DEIS as follows:

4.
Study Timetable--The main concern was that the evaluation of alternatives based on impactsi mitigation and
issues is being pushed through.
Response--It appears that this concern was due largely
to the misconception by some ID Team members that Chapter 8 of the transportation plan T.M.s represented the
alternative analysis which as explained above, it does
not. The ID Team will have the opportunity to review
the sections of the DEIS outlined above.
4
�5.
Spot Improvements Alternative--The main concern was the
the spot improvements alternatives was expanded to
include more actions.
Response--The spot improvements outlined in Chapter 8
responded to the comments received in the scoping process from a wide range of perspectives, and need to be
considered at this point in the study. Each spot
improvement will be evaluated on its own merits, along
with the environmental consequences, after which the
preferred group of spot improvements will be selected.
ITEM 2--DISCUSSION OF CHAPTER 8 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Detailed discussion of Chapter 8, the Alternatives Technical
Memorandum, resulted in a number of wording changes that
were suggested and will be incorporated into the chapter.
The most significant suggestion was to eliminate value
judgements and conclusions from this chapter and leave it as
a description of the alternatives only.
It was also suggested to take out the references to level of service and
discuss them in a separate section.
ITEM 3--AIR QUALITY TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
John Neil briefly reviewed the Air Quality Technical Memorandum. The only comment was on the basis for the average
running speed used in Table 2. The low average running
speeds were used because they are considered the worst case.
Using these criteria showed no significant air quality
problem.
ITEM 4--LAND USE AND RECREATION TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
A number of suggestions on wording clarifications and corrections to maps and figures were made.
ITEM 5--S0CIOECONOMIC TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
General comment that some sections seemed biased toward the
Rich County needs. More mention of the Cache County/Logan
users socioeconomic use of the Canyon needs to be made.
ITEM 6--TERRESTRIAL RESOURCES TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Limited time was available for discussion of this memorandum.
Reference to Oak Brush and Pinion juniper need to
be removed.
ITEM 7--AQUATIC RESOURCES TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
General comment was that this Technical Memorandum was in
good shape.
Suggested eliminating reference to China Row
Creek and Ricks Spring as spawning tributaries. Bunch Grass
5
�Creek and White Pine Creek are considered spawning tributaries and should be mentioned.
The value of fishing needs
to be included in the Socioeconomic Technical Memorandum.
ITEM 8--VISUAL TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Time was not available for discussion.

�Volume II
PRIORITY LISTINGS
District 1
1986
Research and Development Unit
Utah Department of Transportation
�INTRODUCTION
Volume II of the state-wide pavement survey prioritizes highway
sections from the worst to the best for ride, cracking, rutting, structural
adequacy, friction index and an overall condition rating.
These priority listings are intended as a tool to be used in the
selection and programming of rehabilitation and maintenance activities.
Where data concerning the condition of a specific section is needed,
reference should be made to the Detailed Data Sheets in Volume I.
Final rehabilitation decisions obviously should not be made strictly
on the basis of these listings.
More detailed analysis should be done to
accurately select a rehabilitation strategy.
More frequent deflection
testing (every 0.1 mile) should be requested where appropriate, and a more
detailed distress analysis may be necessary.
The following discussions outline the intended use of each printout,
• and provides an example of each.
�RIDEABILITY RANKINGS
Title:
AVERAGE RI
Description:
Sections are prioritized (from worst to best) by the
average of the Rideability Indexes*(RI) measured for
each mile.
(Figure lA)
Use:
The sections near the top of this listing are the
poorest riding sections based on average values.
Title:
MINIMUM RI
Description:
Sections are prioritized by the mlnlmum RI value
measured within the section.
(Figure lB)
Use:
Identifies sections containing a shortt poor riding
area that needs correction t but may be adequate based
on the Average RI listing.
Title:
RI FAILURES
Description:
Lists sections where the RI has reached th Terminal
Serviceability Index (TSI).
(Figure 1C)
Use:
These sections have reached the minimum allowable
rideabilitYt and should be considered for improvement.
*Note:
RI Range

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Description:
Sections are prioritized by the structural index* which
is related to the number of years remaining prior to
fatigue failure. (Figure 4)
Use:
The sections with structural indexes below 2.0 are very
near fatigue failure, or have already cracked in the
wheel paths. Preventive rehabilitation could prevent
the development of fatigue cracking if it has not
occurred.
*Note -
The structural index is based on years to fatigue failure
as follows:

�SURFACE FRICTION R4NKINGS
. Title:
FRICTION AVERAGE
Description:
Sections are prioritized by the average friction index
measured at each milepost. (Figure SA)
Use:
Pavements that are identified with a friction number below
35 should be programmed for a surface seal, and "Slippery
When Wet" signs should be posted until the work can be done.
Friction numbers between 35 and 45 are considered to be
marginal, and above 45 are generally adequate. Pavements
with significant rutting can cause hydroplaning during wet
weather, which could compound skidding problems when combined
with a low friction number.
Title:
FRICTION MINIMUM
Description:
Sections are prioritized by the mlnlmum friction index
measured within the section. (Figure 5B)
Use:
Identifies sections containing a short, slippery area
that needs correction, but may be adequate based on the
Friction Average listing.

�OVERALL RANKI NG
Title:
FINAL
Description:
Sections are prioritized by the Final Index* which is related
to the structural index, the distress index and the average
R.I. The final index is weighted more heavily toward the
structural index where high truck traffic exists. and weights
theR.!. value roore heavily where a high ADT (see definitions)
is present. (Figure 6)
Use :
This listing basically identifies the worst overall sections.
It also can be used to obtain a genera' indication of the
type of rehabilitation (or maintenance) activity which may
be needed, since the technique selected should correct all
of the existing deficiencies. The final index is intended for
prioritization only, and should not be used in any other way
since it does not represent any single pavement condition.
*Note -

LOGAN CANYON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
MINUTES OF INTERDISCIPLINE TEAM MEETING
June 23, 1986
Attending:
Torn Haislip - CH2M HILL
Sheldon Barker - CH2M HILL
Gale Larson - Valley Engineering
Lynn Zollinger - UDOT
Bill Helm - Interested Party
Jack Spence - Cache Group Sierra Club
Rudy Lukez - Cache Group Sierra Club
Steve Flint - Bridgerland Audobon Association
John Neil - UDOT
Cliff Forsgren - CH2M HILL
Jim Naegle - UDOT
Stan Nuffer - CH2M HILL
Clark Ostergard - USFS
Mark Shaw - USFS
Fred LaBar - USFS
Duncan Silver - FHWA
Howard Richardson - UDOT
(
ITEM 1 - Discussion of Minutes
Stan Nuffer called the meeting to order and asked if anyone
had comments on the minutes of the last meeting.
There was
a question raised about the review function of the ID Team
which was described in the minutes.
The role of the ID Team
was an agenda item for this meeting and discussion of the
function was postponed until later in the meeting. There
was no further discussion of the minutes.
ITEM 2 - Discussion of Role of Interdisciplinary Team
A statement of the role of the interdisciplinary team
was distributed and discussed.
The major functions
were:
1
...I... •
2.
')
..J •
Provide management input Provide technical input CH2M HILL will provide the primary input and
the USFS would provide the technical input on
environmental items. Other team members
would add input as the need or opportunity
arose.
Review technical memoranda and draft Environmental Report -
�4.
The team members will review the technical
memoranda and will also review the draft
environmental report.
Level of environmental action determinationRudy Lukez asked if this means that a decision will be made during the study on what
the proposed project will be. He also wanted
to know who would make the decision.
It was
explained that the final decision on what
project, if any, will be proposed will be
made by the three cooperating agencies, UDOT,
USFS and FHWA. Prior to the decision on a
project however, a decision must be made on
the class of environmental action (EA or EIS) .
Jack Spence was not sure who would make the
recommendation on the class of environmental
action to the cooperating agencies.
It was
determined that the ID Team would make the
recommendation.
Modifications to the statement of the role of the team
were made.
The revised statement is attached to these
minutes.
ITEM 3 - Level of Documentation Required by NEPA for
Environmental Studies
(
NEPA requirements for environmental studies were reviewed
and discussed. A handout taken from the UDOT publication,
Procedures for Project Development, described the basic categories.
ITEM 4 - Public Involvement Program Outline
Ap outline of the Public Involvement Program had previously
been sent to ID Team members and was discussed at length.
The principle topics of discussion were:
1.
. The terms "projectlf and "study" were both used in
the outline. To be consistent "study" should be
used throughout when describing the ongoing activity.
This will help to alleviate any fears of those who
equate Ifproject" with actual construction.
?.
Jack Spence wanted to know what the rational for
the study was. Lynn Zollinger explained that whenever UDOT went into Logan Canyon, people asked the
question If What is going to happen next?" After
this study is complete UDOT can point to a plan
which will address the transportation needs in the
Canyon through the year 201rr.
�3.
The press release was discussed and Rudy Lukez
suggested that the ID Team be described in it.
John Neil stated that UDOT's community relations
department would release the information as soon
as it was prepared.
4.
During the discussion of Milestone 2, it was recommended that the word "improvements be replaced
with "action" so that both repair and improvements
would be covered. Rudy Lukez asked where traffic
forecasts would be used and how they would be
developed.
It was explained that the permanent
traffic counter at Garden City, and spot traffic
counts, would be used to establish the present
tra f fic load in the Canyon. Population projections prepared by agencies having that responsibility would then be used to project traffic
volume ahead to the year 2010.
It was explained
that there had already been spot traffic counts
taken at two locations, on 2 different days this
past winter and that more would be taken this summer. Jack Spence was not sure that the data
gathered would be sufficient.
He said that one of
the problems with past studies was the lack of
reliable traffic data from which to project future
traffic flow.
Jack asked to see the methodology
and data when it was available.
Rudy Lukez asked
if sampling was an accepted means of gathering
current traffic flow data. Duncan Silver answered
that it was, provided the sample size was large
enough and the sampling techniques were acceptable. He also suggested that the ID Team evaluate
the sampling techniques.
Stan Nuffer said that
information on the methodology and sampling techniques would be ready for the next ID Team meeting.
Rudy Lukez asked if they could be prepared far
enough in advance to allow the team members a
chance to review the information before the next
meeting.
Duncan Silver restated his belief that
the key issue on this · item was the methodology
used to gather the present traffic flow data.
Duncan also wanted to know why a 2-day 10-hour
sample period was selected, a period of this type
would be acceptable for traffic classification but
probably not for counts.
Stan Nuffer said that
information on the methodology and sampling techniques would be available before the next meeting.
ll
5.
Jack Spence expressed concern about having too
many meetings during the summer vlhen many of the
USU students and facility are out of town.
Sheldon
Barker indicated that the schedule of meetings was
�flexible and that something could probably be worked
out.
6.
During the discussion of Milestone 3, Jack Spence
asked if the Public Involvement Program was designed to meet the requirements for an EIS in case
there was a need for one. Tom Haislip explained
that the program was designed with an EIS in mind.
Sheldon Barker also asked the team members for
names of persons or organizations who should be
added to the mailing list. Anyone who has a suggestion should either give Sheldon the information
after the meeting or mail it to him.
ITEM 5 - Schedule of Interdisciplinary Team Meetings
Stan Nuffer presented a schedule of team meetings through
September.
It was suggested that 3:00 p.m. would be a better
time for some team members than 10:00 a.m.
It was agreed
that all meetings scheduled for 10:00 a.m. would be held at
3:00 p.m. instead.
Before the meeting adjourned, Duncan Silver again stated
that he felt the traffic data must be good enough to satisfy
the group before the study proceeded too much farther.
Jim
Naegle stated that standard accepted methods were used during
the gathering of data.
The next scheduled meeting is 3:00 p.m., July 14, 1986, in
the District office in Ogden.

TASK DESCRIPTIONS
TASK 1:
ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
The following factors contributing to undesirable traveling
conditions are to be reviewed. After obtaining relevant
readily available information from the UDOT Statewide Planning Section, the UDOT Division of Safety and the Utah Department of Public Safety, the following five topics shall
.be covered:
o
Safety - Locations within the project limits, considered to be unsafe, will be identified. Accidents will be evaluated as to type, time of occurrence, severity, and possible causes. The resulting evaluation will correlate accident characteristics and geometric features and determine
which accidents were caused by rock, soil, or snow
materials moving onto the highway. A comparative
analysis using UDOT summary data will weigh accident rates with those of one to two other state
highways of a similar nature.
Raw data, consisting of specific accident reports
for high accident locations provided by UDOT, may
be used in the analysis.
o
Maintenance - A 3-year record of annual maintenance costs will be provided by the Maintenance
Division of UDOT for the purposes of the consultant developing:
Per mile costs for corridor,
Specific locations with unusally high
costs,
Statewide costs for a comparative analysis.
The locations of adverse conditions that contribute to high maintenance costs will be located on
topographic alig?ment maps.
Maintenance cost data available from UDOT will be
complemented by subjective interviews with UDOT
District One maintenance personnel.
Substandard Geometrics - The consultant shall
identify and appraise specific substandard geometric locations.

Congestion The intensity and regularity of congestion will be determined in terms of Level of
Service.
The analysis will be based on procedures
described in TRB Special Report 209 and will include:
~C~ pi"~'L
~~
Highway Capacities:
Levels of Service C, r(,
~ ndrE will be determined for the length of
~ N~kN -
~~ project.
Vehicular Demand:
Present demand will be
established, based on data, from the permanent traffic counter No. 362, located west of
Garden City and from on-project counts to be
taken by the consultant.
Two locations, Beay er
Mountain Ski area and Ri t
F k wi ii
e surveyed in the winter months for 10-hour
periods on 2 week days and 2 weekend days.
Two additional locations will be surveyed in
the summer months for 10-hour periods on 2 week
days and 2 weekend days.
These shall reflect
hourly peaks, vehicular types, and intersection turning movements.
Traffic Projections:
Traffic demand for the
year 2010 will be estimated from information
supplied by . UDOT. (~\Js.-\ co\\~<-~l"'~")
Levels of Service:
Present and year 2010
levels will be determined and expressed in
both peak and average hours.
Other Observed Needs and Deficiencies: As
the consultant becomes familiar with the highway section, other deficiencies may become
evident and if so, they are to be noted in
the environmental document.
An Analysis of Transportation Needs will be included in the
Technical Appendix (described in T6640.8, Attachment, page 25)
and a summary of transportation problems will be included in
the draft document under "Purpose of the Keen for p_ction"
(see T6640.8, Attachment, pages 7-8).
TASK 2:
LOCATION STUDIES
(tv\l"'lMV~' )
In this task the consultant, with assistance from UDOT, FHWA,
and the USFS, will prepare a transportation plan for the
corridor.
In addi tion to the "No--A

�Hand Fork to Garden City
Spot improvements to existing roadway
Resurfacing and resigning of existing roadway
Widening along existing alignment, including
slow moving vehicle lanes, passing lanes,
and/or minor alignment changes.
Reconstruction along existing alignment
Summit to Garden City
Two new routings, including routes to the
south or north of the existing highway
The ex~sting UDOT mapping at a scale of 1" = 100', with 2-foot
contours, will be used for studies of the existing roadway.
From the summit to Garden City, mapping at a scale of 1" =
~OO' with 10-foot contours will be used.
The aerial photography obtained by UDOT in 1985 will be used as the basis for
the mapping.
If viable routings are identified, that UDOT
determines to need more detailed mapping and studies, the
scope, costs, and fee .of this work will be negotiated as
additional work under this . agreement.
Cost comparisons for each al ternati.vE' , in,cludin '} the "No-Action"
alternativ~, will be developed for construction costs, user
costs, and benefit/cost ratios adjusted to the present consumer price index. The recommended methodology found in A
MANUAL OF USER BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF HIGHWAY AND BUS-TRANSIT
IMPROVEMENTS - AASHTO, 1977, will be used. This comparative
analysis will consider the following:
o
Benefits from reduced travel time,
o
Benefits from reduced vehicle operation and road
maintenance costs,
o
Benefits from reduced number of accidents,
Benefits from scenic viewers (i.e., economic bene· fit from people driving to Logan Canyon to view
fall colors, fish, hunt, etc., whose satisfaction
comes from less development or a less-than-standard
highway) .
All alternatives will be developed to a level of detail,
comparable to each other. The end product of Task 2 will be
a transportation plan containing preliminary maps and
profiles (1" = 200' on clear film) showing each alternative
routing; a matrix of environmental trade-offs; comparisons
of engineering details relative to each alternative routing;
�and anticipated contrasts to the existing conditions. This
plan will be included in a Technical Appendix, with a summary appearing in the environmental document under "Alternatives Including Proposed Action."
TASK 3:
GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
A geologic and topographic strip map (based on USGS
1:24,000-scale maps) of sufficient detail to show major geologic features of the entire study corridor, with particular
emphasis on the east end will be prepared. For each geological formation or mappable unit depicted, a brief description of engineering characteristics, as they relate to construction and maintenance problems, will be made. Preliminary and soil investigations performed by the consultant
will include test borings, slope stability and settlement
analyses, soil and rock sampling, laboratory analyses, and
examination of groundwater conditions.
A brief summary of geotechnical analysis will be included in
the Technical Appendix, with a summary of the findings incorporated into Task 6, as appropriate.

)
This task effort will run concurrently with the other tasks.
Government agencies, community organizations, and interested
citizens are to be kept aware of project issues as they arise
and their input is to be sought, acknowledged, and documented
~j
by the consultant. This will be accomplished by small group
~~ ~hS
fY\-" ,~~
discussions (up to 10 meetings),
sco in meetin
(in Logan), t ~ ~o
moderate media coverage, and informational meetings (up to
I~
5 meetings for service clubs, etc.). One or more staff members of UDOT will accompany consultant personnel during introductory or initial contacts with all state and local
agencies and community organizations. All press releases
will be prepared and submitted to UDOT for distribution to
~~
the news media.
The scoping session will follow the CEQ

Requirements relative to cooperating agencies (CEQ 1501.6),
the scoping process (CEQ 1501.7), and, if necessary, Notice
of Intent (CEQ 1508.22) will be the responsibility of the
consultant--except in instances where the federal agency
must initiate requests and other correspondence.
In these
_ latter cases, the consultant will provide support services
only.
I
�Meetings involving the general public will generally be held
in the evening or on weekends. When agency participation is
desired, meetings will generally be conducted during the
workday. Each scoping endeavor will be tailored to the group
involved.
A video tape of approximately 20-minute duration will be
prepared by the consultant at least 3 months prior to the
formal public hearing (or advertisement for a hearing opportunity). Alternative proposals and environmental tradeoffs
will be addressed in the tape. Twelve (12) copies will be
submitted to UDOT.
Until the work under this task is completed, the consultant
team shall maintain a local office (in Logan). The office
will be staffed and open for business during normal working
hours, a minimum of 40 hours per week. Staff will be available (up to ten engineering man-days and ten additional support staff man-days) as a source of project information in
the local community. A project fact sheet will be prepared
for distribution from the local office, with up to three
fact sheet updates during the course of the project.
Documentation of public involvement efforts will be included
-in the environmental document under various headings as appropriate (see FHWA REGION 8 ENVIRONMENTAL NOTEBOOK, Section 2).
TASK 5 COORDINATION
The first activity of this task will be to organize the interdisciplinary study team. Specific individual members
will be identified and confirmed by discussions with each
agency.
The environmental community representative will be determined
by the community. This will be done by first identifying
the environmental groups with probable interest in the Logan
Canyon project. Each will be contacted to inform them of
the need for a representative and to arrange for a meeting
of their leadership. At the leadership meeting, the groups
will be asked to develop a procedure to select their representative. The consultant will monitor the process to see
that a representative is appointed.
The consultant will coordinate its efforts with the FHWA and
the USFS and with the following State of Utah agencies:
o
o
o
o
o
Division of Wildlife Resources
Geological and Mineral Survey
Bureau of Air Quality
Bureau .of .Water Quality
Division of State History1
�Coordination efforts will include:
1) acquiring available
information relevant to the project; 2) obtaining appropriate study permits; 3) conducting joint operations related
directly to the project; and 4) providing the above-listed
?tgencies with duplicate copies of data and findings, (devel~ror ~
oped from the tasks described herein) pertinent to their
' \ riff> ~ct..
respective charges. The permits antici ated to be needed to
c:;er~~
construct the project wli
e ldentified.
As of the date of this Agreement, it is not known if payments to agencies may be needed to assist in the project.
Therefore, no effort or costs have been included in this
scope to meet that potential need.
If UDOT determines that
payments are necessary, the scope and fee for this work will
be negotiated as additional work under this Agreement.
Information obtained through coordination efforts will be
incorporated into Task 6, as appropriate.
TASK 6:
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The task will involve two areas of activity. One is the
meetings of the interdisciplinary study team and the other
is the analysis of environmental resources.
The interdisciplinary study team (see Task 5) will enerally
meet twice each month (for a total of up to 20 meetings r.....--- .
The interdisciplinary earn Wl
provl e input for tne
environmental analysis and make recommendations to the
consultant and UDOT regarding engineering and environmental
issues.
The analysis of environmental re-sources will be a multistep
process.
It will begin with a review of the existing literature for the resources associated with the Logan Canyon
project. ' This search will include literature from city,
county, and state planning agencies, resource management
agencies, universities, and scientific literature.
In addition to the literature search, a field study will be conducted. This will be in with a one- to 2-da reconnaissa c
visit of the ro ect area.

LOGAN CANYON
MINUTES OF ID TEAM MEETING
August 25, 1986
Attendance:
Stan Nuffer, CH2M HILL
Duncan Silver, FHWA
Fred LaBar, USFS
Steve Flint, Audobon Society
Jack Spence, Sierra Club
Cliff Forsgren, CH2M HILL
Gale Larson, Valley Engineering
John Neil, UDOT
Jim Naegle, UDOT
Lynn Zollinger, UDOT
Rudy Lukez, Cache Group Sierra Club
Howard Richardson, UDOT
Todd Weston, UDOT
Item 1 - Review of Minutes
Duncan Silver suggested that there be no more discussion on
roadway maintenance and that the tech memo be written so
that the team could go on to other items. Lynn Zollinger
indicated that the material placed along the river was not
bladed into the river but rather bladed to the side to
establish a roadway shoulder.
There was no other discussion on the minutes.
Item 2 - Draft Traffic Forecast Technical Memorandum
Steve Flint presented written comments on the draft memorandum and a copy was presented to each team member present.
Jack Spence indicated that he had tried several methods to
, try and establish a trend using annual and non-summer ADT's
and found that the scatter of the points was too great to
draw any conclusions. From a statistical standpoint a correlation was not found.
However, given the data available,
he could not recommend an approach which would be any better
than those described in the memo.
Duncan Silver felt that the methodology used was adequate
and that the written comments received should be incorporated
into the memo and this portion of the study concluded. There
was agreement on use of the 2 percent compounded growth for
making traffic projections.
(
There was some discussion on how and when the design hour
volume would be e?tablished. Cliff Forsgren explained that
it was planned to select the design hour volume as part of
the capacity evaluation. The 100 highest hour volumes for
1
�several of the past years are being plotted and will be available _ by the next meeting. -- The design hour volume will be
determined at that time.
Item 3 - Review of Manual Traffic Counts
Stan Nuffer reviewed the manual traffic count data.
The
manual counts have been completed and the data will now be
reduced.
Duncan Silver asked how a traffic profile would be
developed through the Canyon. Stan explained that the data
from the permanent station and the manual counts would be
correlated to establish a profile and directional split
through the Canyon. Stan pointed out that the hourly directional split appears to follow an urban distribution.
Item 4 - Review of Existing Roadway Features
Stan Nuffer distributed illustrations of typical road crosssections at mile posts through the Canyon and explained that
this information would be used to establish capacity and
level of service.
The discussion focused primarily on the design speed and how
and when it would be established.
Stan Nuffer indicated
that it would be desirable to keep the speed as uniform as
possible through the Canyon, but that may not be possible.
It was explained that the design speed is usually a function
of lane width and horizontal and vertical alignment.
Lynn Zollinger asked when the alternate routes from the Summit
to Garden C~ty would be considered.- Stan Nuffer explained
that it would occur during the alternative development task
which was yet to come. The 1 inch = 500 feet mapping will
not be available until mid September.
General Discussion
Jack Spence expressed some concern ab6ut whether or not
there would be enough information available to hold the
first public involvement meeting in early September.
It was
decided that since the first meeting had not been officially
scheduled to wait until the information was available to
schedule the public involvement meeting.
The next ID Team meeting will held in Brigham City.

ITEM 1--REVIEW OF MINUTES
May 18, 1987, minutes approved as distributed. June 22,
1987, minutes approved with one correction: Item 4, page 5
to mention conflict with existing forest plan. Duncan
Silver requested that a complete summary file of minutes be
circulated.
ITEM 3--DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC AND AGENCY INVOLVEMENT (ISSUES
AND CONCERNS) TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
This item was moved up on the agenda because we wanted Clark
Ostergaard to arrive before we discussed Item 2. The reference to environmental groups in the second paragraph,
page 2, is to be dropped. The Corps of Engineers needs to
be involved in the delineation of wetlands. Additional
documentation of emergency medical service was requested. A
section on endangered species needs to be added to USF&WS
list of concerns. The summary of Logan city comments should
differentiate between mayor's and city council members'
statements.
Issues need to be identified independent of
source. Summaries from Cache County, BRAG, and Chamber of
Commerce need to be included in the agency responses.
The forest plan needs to be 'clearly recognized. Any conflicts with it that exist in the alternatives should be
identified. After considerable discussion, it was concluded
that the issues and concerns should be grouped into five
broad categories:
o
Scenic values
o
Safety and traffic flow
o
Ecological considerations--river, riparian areas,
threatened and endangered species
1
�o
Regional economics
o
Compliance with existing plans, specifically the
forest plan
Additional specific concerns that were mentioned in the
scoping process included pedestrian traffic, recreation
parking, bicyclists, road cross sections, economic impacts
in Rich County, Rich County road maintenance, and mitigation
difficulties. The issues discussion should possibly be
moved to the front of the document.
ITEM 2--VISUAL RESOURCES TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
FHWA versus USFS classification systems discussed. The FHWA
system applies credit to improvements. The document adequately met the needs of both systems. The various alternatives need to address retention and document which visual
categories can be mitigated. The impact on the affected
areas must be put into perspective by identifying the number
of acres total in each category out to an arbitrary line
(30 feet from the roadway). Copy of Jack Spence's written
comments is to be circulated to the team.
ITEM 4--SPOT IMPROVEMENTS
Raising of the road grade in selected areas needs to be
included as a spot improvement. Stage construction may be a
means for mitigation. Copies of Table 4, which shows a summary of positive, negative, or insignificant impacts of the
spot improvements, was circulated. The table is a start
toward identifying impacts; the team will respond in writing
in 2 weeks with their own evaluation. A suggestion was made
to mark with an "X" those impacts that cannot be mitigated.
The . possible development of a second spot improvement alternative that is more limited in scope was discussed. We
decided to go ahead with the evaluation of the full list and
then see if it would be advisable to include more than one
spot improvement alternative in the DEIS.
Larry England reviewed the Macquire primrose biological
assessment provided by Dr. Stanley Welsh. He indicated that
the USF&WS does not completely concur with Welsh's conclusions. Other sites (outside the project area) have experienced a significant decline, apparently due to climatic
conditions. The USF&WS would not like to see a passing lane
in the area, but road widening would be acceptable. England
would like to work with others involved in the process so a
jeopardy opinion could be avoided.

�ITEM 5--ROAD USER BENEFIT AND COST COMPARISON
The cost comparison memorandum was discussed briefly. A
request was made for more information on cost background,
and for an example of how the cost benefits were obtained.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
An accident analysis for Logan Cave area and mile post 384
was circulated. The predominant accident type involved
vehicles running off the road.
Sketches of the various concepts for flattening the curve at
Logan Cave were circulated. The sketches illustrate the
concepts outlined in the Technical Memorandum Chapter 8,
pages 8-9 and 8-10.
Steve Flint pointed out a discrepancy in Figure 6-1 and
Table 6-1 of the traffic capacity Technical Memorandum.
Corrections will be circulated.
Time of a future meeting was left open pending assessment of
responses to the spot improvements evaluation, and additional
comments on the technical memoranda.

1. An important consideration with respect to the extent of various
impacts is the relative amount of area affected.
This is particu-
larly critical for riparian areas (visual sensitivity rating 6 or 7).
For example, in alternative Cl, the total riparian area affected
is estimated at 9.5 acres.
This calculates to be a strip approxi-
mately 9 feet wide for the entire middle section of the canyon, and
agrees closely with the amount of riparian area affected by addition
of a strip 8.5 feet wide to the highway (modified standard).
Since
the middle section is very narrow, all land between the road and
the river is riparian (U.S.F.S. standard is anything less than
100 fee t ) .
How mu c h
in this alternative?
0
f the tot aIr i par ian z 0 new 0 u 1 d .b e a f f e c ted
50%?
75%?
For alternative 0, 40 mph, it must
approach 100%, since this calculates to be a strip 13.5 feet wide
for the entire section.
In order to evaluate the impact, an esti-
mate .of the amount (%) of total riparian zone destroyed in each
alternative needs to be given.
2.
The t maps showing the area to be affected are somewhat misleading,
since they indicate, e.g., riparian zone only exists where the
R/7(6)
symbol occurs.
In fact, in the middle canyon, the entire
area between the road and the river is riparian zone, and any widening of the road will affect it for the entire length of the section.
This should be clarified for Cl, 01 alternatives.
3.
No accounts is taken of the impact on visual resources for those
using the canyon but not driving.
Campers, fisherman, hikers, etc,
not on the road may have their visual resources adversely affected
�·
\
by the various alternatives, but in a different manner than drivers.
How is this to be evaluated?
4.
Page 6.
Evaluation Criteria.
It is stated: "Roadsides with
a 3-5 rating can absorb alternations, but will require major mitigation (retaining walls, bridges, etc)." It is hard to understand
how a retaining wall or a bridge can mitigate the loss of naturalness.
5.
The memo indicates all alterations in areas with a 6 or 7 sen-
sitivity index (which includes all riparian zones) cannot meet the
f.
/\
VQO or Retention, which is required by the Forest Plan.
These
amount to a considerable amount of the total area affected, particularly in the middle canyon (35% for Cl; 34% for 01, 35 mph; 35% for
01, 40 mph), as well as parts of the upper canyon (Franklin Basin
road to Beaver Mountain Road, Summit).
however, as to how this
C
impas~
No indication is given,
is to be solved.
Clearly, this will
require a revision of the Forest Plan for these alternatives, since
such a large part of the total area will be affected.
The implica-
tions of this must be spelled out in the OEIS. This is a critical
omission.
t
6.
The spot Improvement Alternative (B) appears to include all spot
alternatives in the form originally proposed.
There is no such alter-
natives, since the number and extent of each improvement must be agreed
upon.
It must be made clear this alternative includes all spot improve-
ments at the maximum level for each, and the final alternative will
be for fewer and smaller improvements.
As it now stands, there is
little to differentiate Bl from Cl in the sections affected: the only
difference is in the width of the road between improvements.
